Coral is starting to talk. It’s so cute to hear her little voice speak gibberish mixed with real words. At 13.5 months, here’s what she says and for the most part, understands:

  1. Dada: meaning Daddy or anything good/interesting, such as a doggie or bird
  2. Baba: meaning mama
  3. Behbeeee: baby, usually tapping herself
  4. Baww: ball
  5. Wwwowwww! Whoa!
  6. Whoawhoawhoa: Row, row, row, your boat = push her around in the plastic tub and sing the song
  7. Wheeeee! (on the rocking horse)
  8. Da!: That!
  9. No. No, no, no, no.
  10. O-w-w-w-w-w-w: O’s, as in Joe’s O’s, the Trader Joe’s version of Cheerios
  11. Wawa: water
  12. Bahbwww: bubble, meaning blow bubbles
  13. Hai: hi
  14. Hewo: hello
  15. Aaaiiiii: eye
  16. Noh: nose
  17. Wishhhh: wash
  18. ZhzhzhzhzlLO-WAH: lotion (yes, really)
  19. Mmmmmmmm!
  20. Uh-oh!: I dropped something
  21. Weewee: reading
  22. Eeeaeeeao-o-o-oh: E-I-E-I-O from Old MacDonald
  23. Ap-pohw: apple
  24. Bwwwwwah: balloon

I’m pretty sure I’ve heard her try to say “Hi Watermelon” to my stuffed dragon, Watermelon.

And this is what she understands but can’t say:

  1. Push car (one of her toys)
  2. Ducky (the duck hand puppet she loves), Violet (the purple puppy talking doll), Watermelon, Specules, Totoro–all stuffed animals
  3. Rocking horse
  4. Bird, birdie
  5. Dog, doggie
  6. Clock
  7. Cheese
  8. Clap
  9. Bang bang: banging two things together or running the push car into something
  10. Shakey shakey
  11. Sit, Stand
  12. Spin
  13. Dancing
  14. Music: press the piano keys to play the song
  15. Come, get, give, put
  16. Push, pull
  17. Peekaboo
  18. On, off: can turn lights on and off
  19. Up, down
  20. Blow: she knows how to blow her nose by closing one nostril or having us do it
  21. Big hugs: hug whatever’s presented to her including stuffed animals and other babies
  22. Kisses: give a slobbery, open-mouthed kiss to whatever’s presented to her (not always met with success)
  23. Over Coral’s head: putting on or taking off a shirt
  24. Pants
  25. Left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg: when dressing or undressing
  26. Toes, ear, tummy, head
  27. Diaper (how do I know she knows? because it sends her into a tizzy as she hates to be changed now)
  28. Tattoo: looks at a person’s lower back because that’s where mine is
  29. Milk
  30. Zip up Coral’s sleepsack
  31. High chair
  32. Not for eating! (usually ignored)
  33. No bang-bang (referring to toys on glass, also usually ignored)
  34. Shoes and socks

And maybe she knows wash, rinse, brush teeth?
