Words Erik Can Say

Mommy was reading one of the baby books that was purchased way before Erik even arrived. Anyways, for the last couple of nights, Mommy was reading on how the child brain develops in the 0-5 years old. It's a pretty interesting and very in depth book where it talks about how a child's brain's connectors are developed and behaves independently and then connect with each other as they mature.

Well, in one passage on language development, it mentioned that a child by one-year old, he/she can speak a median of 5 words verbally. Thus Mummy had to do some counting, and here's a list of words that Mummy came up with that Erik can say:

Bubble - in English

Dog - in English

Bye-Bye - in English

Duck - in English

Book - in English

Ball - in English

Mommy - in English or Cantonese because they sound the same

Daddy - in Chinese

Horse - in Chinese

Grandma (Dad's mom) - in Chinese

Milk - in Chinese

Fork- in Chinese

P.S. Mommy only wishes that Daddy would introduce Hindi volcabularies to Erik!!
