Jayde is saying mum. Got it on video last night. Hee hee must be because Alyssa is constantly saying mummmmmmmmmm muuuuummm. Makes me feel good as Alyssas first word was dada. Anyway very cute, she only says it when she wants my attention and then breaks into a huge grin smarty pants. . I thought she was going to take a while to talk as she hardly ever vocalises, but obviously not.------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

Jacob has started, as of yesterday, saying dad, dad dad, and daddy. Now, I know he dosen't know what it means, but it is very very clear what he is saying, even a stranger at the supermarket commented on it today! little smartypants, I am so gutted, because rod ALWAYS goes dad dad dad to him, and I always go mum mum mum.
Do you think its those words or just noises? sounds like the words, but he will only be 5 months on sunday? ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

| Jake says "saishowagu" which is "rock paper scissors" in Japanese, He now calls me "sensei" which I wish he'd stop "and can say bye bye when he feels like it which is rarely. He also says "sugoi" which means cool. He doesn't actually use much English I've just realised. |

lol sounds kewl - oh to have a bi-lingual child. 
paris's first word was nana, so mike was very gutted. sometimes ayja comes out with things that are probably just noises, but it happens quite often so maybe it's the start of something, usually mumum or last night she sounded like she said ayja. lolol. probably didn't but both me and mike looked at each other as if to say "did she say that?" it's so kewl when they actually start using proper words. paris used to meow at joey and say cat, she loved him - that was my faviourite by far... now all she does is shoo him away and say no joey go away shoo! poor cat.  ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Han's started saying a few things but to be honest they aren't exactly words. She says "Uh-Oh" whenever she drops or throws something (about 600 times a day, it's driving me slightly batty) and says "Moo". I originally thought she was moo-ing at cows so thought she was quite clever, have now realised she moos at all animals. We'll work on it. Sometimes on the phone she mimics "Hello" but it comes out more like "Ayo". The only other word(?) she says a lot of is "Dat!" which I can only assume codes for "What's that?" and "I want that".
Can't wait until she's actually saying something coherent. Favourite new sounds is "dad dad dad dad". The child doesn't have a father so I'm not sure what she is going to achieve by that. Maybe she's trying to rope one in??? |

lol, paris still says gog instead of dog most of the time.
we called our cat joey cos.. hhm i can't remember why. i think we were going through names of little kittens and i was trying to think of names of baby animals that might be cute and came up with joey - i also think it may have had something to do with friends. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Arna is a TOTAL copycat!! She has been saying "ta" about 200 times a day since she was about 11 months.
Now she is copying us saying "ta-ta", buh-bye, cool, pretty etc - we only have to say it once and she says it!! Oh and she picked up "s-h-i-t" off me a lil while ago oopsie!!
She knows how to take a pix on the cellphone and send it. And does the whole talking thing... Children these days hehe------------- http://www.snugglepie.com">

LOL, they learn things so fast, ayja has rolled over a couple of times randomly - but today, the wee cheeky girl, .. EVERY time i put her on her tummy, she rolled straight onto her back - didn't even wait till my back was turned - just rolled over and laughed at me and blew raspberries. frustrating cos over the last few days she has been scooting round in circles on her tummy... hopefully it might mean she's crawling my xmas - lolol... i feel so silly but am so excited cos Paris never rolled till she was 14 months, and never crawled at all... so having a baby doing the "normal" things at about the right time makes me so giddy. lololol. sorry, just had to share my excitement. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

lol probably - mike wants her crawling by xmas - i dunno how good that would be - it's hard enough to keep big sister away from the xmas tree! and well - ayja is so rough, i put her sitting in front of me this morning, and put one of paris's toys in front of her - a little car dashboard thing with sterring wheel and heaps of noisy buttons, and showed her to push them, and beforei knew it she wasn't being nice - she was whacking her hands all over it and being sooo rough, thought it was a hoot - and didn't even care that she got her hands caught behind things - just kept doing it. ooooh i think we might have trouble once she can get to Paris's stuff. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

How old is Ayja now? Josiah's making a determined effort to crawl, and in the past week has gone from wriggling and rolling to move around, to last night pulling himself forwards with his arms. He also props himself up on his legs, then pushes forward and slides along on his face! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

| I know what you mean about rough bubbas. I gave Jake my old buzzy bee. I had it since i was baby. He has it for a month, and the wings come off. Too rough with his toys! Luckily they are his, not an older siblings...poor paris. Is she tall? maybe she can put things up out of Ayja's reach! |

lol i'm thinking more about when she is plkaying and ayja is finally moving enough to be able to get to her.. i think maybe she might end up taking to playing in her room around then
Ayja was 6 months old yesterday.. if she's on tummy she'll sorta go round in circles, and will face dive as well - bringing her legs up under her, but face still smushed on the ground, so if she tries to push forwards she just gets a squashed face.. am sure she'll get it together soon though. we are just having trouble rightnow cos all the toys ayja is old enough to play with used to be paris's and paris still thinks of them as hers... once we get a new place and can separate out the toys in different rooms it might be better.. should have seen when paris came home at lunch time to see the little car dashboard thing on ayja's playmat.. if looks could kill.. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Jake doesn't realise there is ownership i think. at the moment EVERYTHING is his. We went to a playgroud and he pushed other (older) kids aside to grab their toys. I'm worried about him becoming a bully as he is MUCH bigger than other kids his age. Mum told me all kids go through it so not to worry.
Hey Janine, would Paris understand if you sat down as asked her which toys Ayja could have? I remember something like that on a tv show, although i think the kid was about 6 so easier to reason with. Cosby? |

Over the last little while, as Kiya has outgrown her toys I've put them away in a box saying "lets put this here for any babies who come to visit". Then, once I was pregnant with Josiah I'd say "lets put this away for Baby". After he was born, I took some of the toys out of her room saying "You've got lots of big-girl toys, and you don't play with these ones. Can Josiah have them instead?" It seems to have worked so far. She's only tried to claim back a couple of toys so far, and we told her that if she wanted a "baby" toy, then we'd swap it for one of her "big kid" toys - like her bike! Kiya wasn't so keen on that! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

yeah we do that - she'll go to take something off ayja and i will say, no that is ayja's - can she have your barbie instead, and she'll say no, and will give ayja's toy back. we did the putting away thing with the rattles - but alot of baby toys are still in paris's room cos as i said, we only have our room and hers. so once we move it will be better. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja
