Alab's glossary

Life has been happening so I haven't really had much down time to just chronicle much of my or the kids' life nuggets.

Sigh.

Oh well. Here's a go.

Alab is now 17.5 months. His first word was at 11 months, which was "tak" referring to "clock." Interesting that Alon's first was "lat" for "light."

In the course of a half year, he's picked up quite a few words. His pedia, during our 15th month check-up, said he was advanced with speaking.

His first batch of words included "tah" (star), "tata" (tatay or nanay[!]) and "papis" (dog or any four-legged animal).

Now, his vocabulary has just grown!
Nanay = me!
Tatay = tatay or kuya Alon (!)
Pis = please
Caht = cat
Buh = ball, balloon
Muh = moon
Te = ate
Cah = car
Bats = bus
Bee-bee = jeep (the horn of the jeep goes beep-beep-beep, just to explain)
Oto = motor
Eypen = airplane
Buh (with flapping motion) = bird
Taki = taxi
Oos = shoes or slippers
Up = carry
Baba = go down or put me down
Pis = nappies
Puhpuh = i'm pooping
Bas = labas
Nana = banana
Apo = apple

I know I'm missing some words, nonetheless, I'm quite happy that he's as daldal as kuya. And boy, do these two chatter when they talk and play.
