Animal sounds and body parts

Julia is just exploding mentally! I just cannot believe how quickly she can pick things up. You only have to show/tell her something once and she will remember it forever!

Lately I have been working on animal sounds and body parts with her. So far she knows....

Animal Sounds
Kitty (duh! Her first word after mama and dada was CAT!) - Which sounds like "Beeee-ow"
Doggie - Which is "boof"
Cow - Which is "booo"
Duck - "quack" - she has no problem with that one.
Somewhat on pig - the "oink" is hard for her to say so it don't quite come out right

Body Parts
Ears
Eyes (she really likes to jab her finger in my eye and say "eye")
Nose
Mouth
Fingers
Toes
Bellybutton
Elbow
Knee

I will be adding more and more. I try to only add one thing (either a body part or animal sound) at a time and give her a day or two in between each new addition.

Julia went to the Shelby County fair and I think that she must have seen the sheep because on Friday she told me that a sheep says baa. It was a very good imitation of the sound.

Your right. We did see sheep at the fair... So I asked her yesterday what sheep say, and without hesitation, she said "baaa". I guess I need to ad that one to the list!
