lewis has learnt that it is fun to climb the stairs from bottom to top(god help us) and can say hat(while trying to pull mine off! lol)

Lol kenty sounds like lilly ann is learning to twist daddy round her little finger

I posted in lounge but C has learned to string together little sentences so we have recently hadNo Daddy, off dipdip (stop stealing my dip daddy)
Daddy Upt, bump stairs (daddy get up and come downstairs with me)
and No, Mummy bed, huddle (no mummy i wanna get i your bed for a cuddle lol)

she is also still working on counting and if you count with her is doing 7,8,9 and 10 perfectly (randomly) and does 1,2,3,4 after a fashion (One pour pee pour and sometimes one poo pee pour) we have no idea why she prefers the higher numbers lol

Oh and shes learned who she is - kay-yin jack shun. And im mummy jack shun and neil is daddy jack shun

My LO's just started counting today too. We had the surestart people round last week for his language assessment which he's doing extremely well at (proud mummy moment indeed>>> ) Anyhoo, we got the bookstart pack and it has this numbers wall chart in 1-10, stuck it on his bedroom wall and was counting with him this morning. This eve we went up and he went 'one, two, pee, poor, eight, nine, ten

Aw yay zee thats fabbo!

Well this week Cerys has taught herself how to blow raspberries on the leather sofa. Not something to be overly proud about - but very funny x

its hilarious when they find new surfaces that are good for it! Izzy only just realised her changing unit makes good noises...so trying to clean her butt while she has it in the air and blowing raspberries is quite tricky!

I haven't added here for a while, so I will try to think where she is now

She has perfected saying all her facial features now and likes to point them out on all her toys which is very cute

Counting is not much further forward, its like un, two, fee, der, der, der, se-vin, ny-in...although Im hoping she will learn this soon as we count 1-12 EVERYTIME she goes up and down the stairs!

She has learnt how to beep peoples noses Very funny in the morning when Dan trying to sleep and I get her in the bed and ask her to Beep daddies nose, she gently pinches it and says beep

Kisses are now perfect, you ask her for a kiss and she purses her lips, kisses you and does a kiss noise!

She loves dancing with her bears...and holds them by their ears to dance..if I try to give her their hands she rearranges it all and has to holding ears between thumb and forefinger....very picky with her dancing!

She is pretty good at running now, but problem is she never looks at the floor! So is forever tripping over stuff!

New words she likes to use are hat and hair, on and oof (for lights/TV, toys etc), up and down, more, all done, all gone, daddy gone, num num, see & knee (Wigsy(Biggles) and Denny), fuff fuff (anything that may be found in ones toes, belly button, in the bed, on the floor!), money (she got loadsa chocolate money for xmas), night night, mornin (sooooo cute)

seems we all have very clever lo's. lisa, thats so cute, if i ask oliver for a kiss he just shakes his head and say nooo

he usually looks in reflective surfaces and says 'baby'...today he looked into mils glass table and said 'big boy baby'

Its only been about a week since she learnt to do it...and it is very cute and lovely!

he he today oliver stood infront of the tv saying dogdog(hotdog) bending down and wiggling his bum...he wanted the mickeymouse hotdog song on sooo cute x

Wil came out with a new one today "lorry-car". This is a van apparently!

He has also taken to announcing "I'm ready" when he has his coat and shoes on to go out.

Everyones doing so well. C has now added Lefen and Telf to her counting, she does 1-10 perfectly each time now and since yesterday started trying eleven and twelve. She has now got triangle, circle and square. And Neil has taught her high five complete with shouted 'YO!'

lewis seems to be coming on so well...he gives kisses all day long, all i have to do is say kiss. he learnt to say 'ta mama' yesterday, instead of saying them seperately...he's learnt to pull up a highchair when we go to morrisons cafe! lol

Alice has learnt to count to 3, i am sooooooo proud, she has also learnt morning lol

My 2 year old daughter is learning new words everyday and they become more and more clear. She is starting to talk in 3-4 word sentences and I love it. If she meets someone for the first time or she just wants to start a conversation she always talks about her shoes.

The newest words/phrases that she has added to her vocabulary would be: "I see you" and "I love you".

amelie learned to shake her bum and beat me on just dance

olivers talking has come on so much the past few weeks, he is learning new words each day eg this morning(him in his cot shouting leo) eeeeoooooo, i went in he looked at me and said 'out' tring to climb out, pointing at the books saying 'book', then i said put dummy in the basket then, he put the dummy back in his mouth and laid down and said 'nanight'..

then when i picked him up after work, he kept saying 'dance' when a song came on the radio

iv lost track of how many words he can say now, he will attempt to copy anything and is associating word's with item now too...especially 'egg x

This week Imogen has learned to point to her head, nose, eye and mouth, and to point to these on other people. She's not quite sussed out ownership yet: "where's your nose?" -toddles over to touch daddy's nose.

Cheek and chin seem to have confused her so I'm now tackling major body parts like foot, tummy etc.

She's still not saying many intelligible words though, mainly just babble. I think she tried to say cat yesterday, but it could just have been a coincidence!

Sophia can now recognise two of her peppa pig flash cards - go and more. (go is more consistnet than more but still well impressed!)

And she also learnt today that it was funny to take out her aunties (clean i may add) knickers from the basket, sniff them and then look disgusted! LOL had us on the floor for laughing!

MAndy xx

This will be of no interest to anyone else but just thought id try and list all the words/phrases Caitlin can say at 21 months.

Words - Mummy, daddy, nana, nanny, cat, sheep, cow, duck, dog, shoe, sock, coat, ball, bowl, no, yay, oh, seat, chair, slide, bear, baby, man, daisy, nose, eye, ear, hair , belly button, knee, bum, poo, nappy, foot, pram, car, keys, flower, butterfly (fly), chocolate, banana, bun, apple, carrot, plate, dummy, stuck, fall, bye bye, hello, yummy, yuck, up, balloon, stairs, sand, blue, yellow (rarely gets them right but) one, two, clock, ping (when clock chimes, or micro goes lol), fart, please, work

Animal noises for - cow sheep horse fish snake lion tigger dog cat mouse duck

Phrases - Ball away, daddy away, mummy gone etc Oh no, all done, all gone, ball gone, seat a bum, go away, baby stuck, oh no ball away, I fart, daddy work

Points to most body parts. (Chin, cheek and eyebrows are still confusing)

Her vocabularly seems to be expanding every day now. Im sure she can say more but I cant remember! It was only a few months ago I thought she was slightly behind speech wise (she always babbled constantly but!) and now im amazed at the speed she is learning

Wil has finally reached the point where I can have a conversation of sorts with him providing it is something he is interested in.

His vocabularly has expanded massively since I started asking him questions in response to his questions so

'What you doing?' will initially get an explanation of what I am doing and the next time it is asked (immediately usually) it is met with 'what do you think I am doing?' So far he always gives me a sensible response.

The rate that Caitlin is learning new words is shocking me! I didnt believe others when they said their LO literally just started talking at 22 months.

This weeks new words include sweets, rain, post, sleep, sun, star, chin, eyebrow, butter, ham, toast, strawberry, pyjama's, clothes, dora, pig, jump, bounce, shower, bath ....

When pointing at things she will say 'a' in front of the word eg a baby, a pram, a car.

I can also understand mini sentences eg 'nanny car blue' , 'daddys away to work' 'yes please' 'mummy look its rain' 'man go away' 'sit look at book'

She does still babble utter rubbish a lot of the time but usually you can pick out one proper word in what she is saying and guess what she means.
