OK, so not only did I forget some words last time, but the pace has already started picking up. Last time I forgot:

8. egg (mostly clearly distinguished from “ball”)
9. baby (this means “baby,” “Alana,” and “child”)

In the past week or two I’ve also heard Alana say:

1. one

2. two

3. four

4. foot

5. eyes

6. beer (and also “this is a beer” — how is she learning this stuff??)

7. xie (Chinese for “shoes”)

8. yeye (Chinese for “paternal grandpa” — maybe she learned this from SS’s mom?)

9. duck (she still prefers “ga-ga” though) I’m enjoying observing her vocabulary generalizations. She’s pretty good at identifying cats and dogs correctly, but other animals, not so much:

10. A cheetah is a cat

11. A tiger is a cat

12. A fox is a dog

13. A horse is a dog

14. A deer is a dog

15. A bear used to be a dog too, but now it’s a bear (progress!)

OK, that’s all for now.
