The last few weeks Rogue's baby talk has become more and more like words. Though by definition her first word should be a word that she not only says but comprehends the meaning of the word as well. So even though for the last few months she's been saying a lot of Mamamamamamamamama's and dadadadadadadada's and nananananananana's, it wasn't like she was coming up to me and saying mama. Her official first word is "no." Though I am not sure I think this is a good first word. Everytime she says it everyone looks at me, laughs and says "you must say that to her a lot." It kinda bothers me. Yes, I have been teaching her a lot on what she can and can't do so yes, I do say "no" a lot but I also say a lot of "yes'" and "thank you's" now I know that she can't say those words yet and that "no" is a lot easier for her to say than anything else. I guess I was just thinking that it would be a different word and no I wasn't expecting her to say Mama. I actually figured it would be baba which we call her bottle. All in all, I am very proud of her saying her first word, I'm thrilled! I just am not sure I like people's reaction when she says it but I'll get over it. Guess it is the first time mother in me and am afraid that I am being too negative.
In other news, we decided to start Rogue in cloth diapers at night since she's exploded out of her disposable night time diapers. I just got some, decided to try a brand called "blueberry" though I am considering g-diapers if these don't work though I was told about Jillians drawers by Teresa who used it and I am highly considering going that route too if these don't work. Oh well, I'll just be happy if we can FINALLY have her sleep the whole night without wetting the bed.
Grayson's 2.5 and doesn't talk a ton, even though he can. His full sentences tend to run the route of, "Mama, I want my milk back now." Seriously, those are the things he chooses to express with his words?!?!? No's easy for kids and pretty common to pop out earlier than the please, thank you's and yes's :) I bet she looks super adorable spouting off no though!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE cloth diapers. I just switched Leah over maybe 3-4 weeks ago. I never have any blow outs it's great!! What size is rogue? I have 2 medium sized gdiapers plus 8 snap in liners that don't fit Leah.
ReplyDeleteLeah just started saying "thank you" Its really cute. I wouldn't worry about what other people say. People are insensitive and rude. Every kid is going to learn the word no. Its a very easy word and thats probably why she picked it up so easily, not because you over say it or tried to teach it to her. Don't let people get to you! Your such a good mama!
