I understand this is more personal and like why would you care what Aryi’s first words were. But, I think this is so fun. It’s so interesting to me what grabs his attention.
Words Aryi regularly uses before 16 months:
1. Mama
2. Dada
3. Bobo (milk)
4. Done done
5. Nana (no) or No
7. Cat
8. Dog
9. Meow
10. Back pack
11. Ball
12. Book
13. Byebye
14. Duck
15. Bu or Nana for banana
16. Baby
17. Baka (baklyo means hungry)
18. Cracker
19. Deke or boo for peekaboo
20. Box
21. Bubble
22. Pop
23. More
24. Bird
25. Bear
Words added to vocabulary between 16-18 months:
26. Circle
27. Down
28. Two
29. Tee (three)
30. Gentle
31. Thank you
32. Mo (our cat’s names)
33. Go
34. Car
35. Shoe
36. Block
37. Pat
38. Eat
39. Aryi
40. Hi
41. Uh oh
42. Cookie
43. Pocket
44. Hat
45. Bath
46. Moon
47. Yay
48. Owl
49. Door
50. Night Night
I want to mention in addition to all the new words, Aryi has become clearer and more meaningful when speaking to people in general. He has also started making sentences to himself of “words” that are not really words. He pretends to read, making up his own words for the pages and count using two and tee.
He does say other words when copying us but doesn’t use them consistently. These words he will use consistently without having to repeat them.
