Baby Words
I have been reading an exceelent book "Einstein Never Used Flash Cards" about how our children really learn. This book is peppered with exercises to do with baby. One of the exercises is to note down the various words that baby knows at various stages.
So here's a crack at it, at 1year 2 months
Have divided words into the following category and whether he knows then in Chinese or English
These are the words we have caught him saying...
Relationships: me-me (for mummy), di-di (for daddy), pa (for grandpa), ma (for grandma), baby
Food Milk, bread
Objects car, bei1 (glass), gai4 (cover), ping2 (bottle), bottle (not very well), magnet, gou3 (dog) ji (chicken, not very well), windmill, light (sez it like aight)
Questions How?
Actions tiu1 (throw, yes his favourite word) pao-pao (carry me) Sui4 jiao4 (sleep, understands doesn't know how to speak), na2(take), la1 (pull) an4 ( press), bath, eat
Adjectives: dirty
Okay, obviously I tend to capture more of the Chinese words, cos I am the one speaking to him in Mandarin.

So Laura speaks to Kinnon in English and you speak to him in Mandarin? Sounds familiar...
