Cs, Bs, Ms & …

Faythe by jazzmint
Since I started confinement, I’ve been able to spend most of the time with Faythe. Except when MIL takes her over to her house. I realise that at the age of 17 months, she learns things very fast. She’s definitely a late talker (unlike Zara), she only started talking or rather babble a few words whenever she’s in *da mood*, rest of the time she just doesn’t bother to open her mouthful of gold. Since I spend more time with her, I also get to talk to her more, which I find out that after repeating the word a few times, she can now speak more words and I can definitely understand more now. Of all the words, I notice most of it begins with C, B or M. Here are some words that I’ve captured the pass 3 weeks (not exact pronounciation, but at least I can decode it :P):C
Car (when she sees car, she will point & say car)
Cut (she took the nail clipper and pretend to cut my nails and repeated say cut)
Card (when she sees cards on the table, she will grab them and say card)
Ching (refers to the *dacing*, I was wearing BN t-shirt with the dacing sign and tought her ching (in cantonese))
Cer (means cheers – yum seng. She will take a cup, give one to maid and toast with her)B
Bag (refers to any bag that she comes along)
Back (behind her, or behind mommy)
Bus (refers to his toy bus)
Bam (refers to the Avent Pump, she says that when she sees me pump milk)
Bear (refers to her bear or any bear she sees on our shirt)
Button (refers to buttons on our shirt)
Boh (means no more in hokkien)

M
Mak (one day Daddy’s friend, Mark, came to our house, we kept calling his name, then suddenly she just said the word, amazed us and we started laughing cause she repeated it like more than 10times)
Man (refers to postman)
Milk (refers to the milk she drinks)
Ma (dunno she refer to me, or grandma or whatever)
Mo (for motorbike)

G
Got (means have, she will nod her head and say got got at the same time)

N
Nen nen (refers to Vyktore’s milk, only Vyktore’s. Her milk is call milk)

P
per (refers to diaper)
pokok (trees that she sees in the magazine)
po (refers to po-po *grandma* – the CL)

T
ter (she calls Vyktore ter – she woke up in the morning just kept saying ter)

Other than the words above, sometimes she will say some sounds. Funny though, she only say it in front of me. When Daddy or MIL ask her, she doesn’t say.Here’s the usual conversation:

Mommy: Faythe, snake how
Faythe: ssssss
Mommy: Dog
Faythe: wou wou (sometimes just wou)
Mommy: Cat
Faythe: mau or mou (dunno why the cat sound is mou *scratch head*
Mommy: Cow
Faythe: Moo
Mommy: Pig
Faythe: nyoi nyoi (Mommy thought her oink oink)
Mommy: Frog
Faythe: ke ke (MIL’s house has this artificial frog sound that mades ke – ke sound when someone walks pass, she picked it up fr there)

I am glad that the confinement came right in time where I can spend more time talking to her and capture all these *first words*

  1. Some kids just naturally start talking later. I had a nephew who only start talking when he was 3 years old. That had me worried but your Faythe will pick up very fast once she starts. Her *nyoi nyoi* very cute 🙂

  4. Once she’s started, she will pick thinsg up very fast.. You both will have lots of fun things to do together during your confinement. Enjoy 🙂

  5. That’s the thing about being at home full time hor? We get to spend time with the kid and then help them with their development.

    Good timing for you this round. Btw, you are only taking 60days and no extra?

  7. i guess the old adage about children who talk fast walk slow and vice versa does run through. my lil max at 14 months is learning to talk fast, he can tell us when he sees a car, bus, baby..etc but still does not want to walk although he can very well stand on his own
    no worries through i guess, individual differences

  9. Soon she will talk non-stop liao and at this age, they pick up word real fast especially when mama is home speaking to her so often. Enjoy your time!

  11. its cute when they start talking. She’s getting along very well with her new brother. 🙂

  12. Dont worry, once she start talking, she definitely non stop, Mummy here n mummy there till you pusing..(like me now)

  13. It’s amazing how Faythe can remeber so much but only talks to you. Guess she’s much closer to you so only show to mummy how she can chat 😉

  14. Good work Faythe, next time talk to Auntie Sue heheheh… coz most of the time I go over she don’t talk to me also 😛

  15. hehe- what happenned to D for daddy. Enjoy your maternity leave. As 4 me, I sent harvynna to the babysiter during the second month so I could bond with Rowena the whold day. So when Harvynna returns at night, I focus on her instead.

  16. Oh yes, btw, I realised that once Rowena was born, Harvynna had an explosion of language and speaks very well. Some of my other friends also experienced the same thing when their second child was born. Strange
