Jalen's Vocabulary at 21 Months


I haven't updated Jalen's progress for a while because the amount of changes he's been going through is less dramatic than when he was younger. He's just doing his job being a kid, playing, eating, napping and pooping. One thing to note is that his vocabulary is growing. He understands a lot of what you're saying and he is starting to say more of it back. Here's a sample of the most common words you'll hear from him.

Mama
Dada
No
Mine - this is a new one and we didn't teach him it either. Perhaps he learned it from daycare?
Please
Thank you - this one still sounds like "doo doo"
More
Juice
Nai nai - milk in Chinese
bye bye
uh oh
cracker
bath
coo coo - baby talk for sleep
car
ball
yeah
Obama
chicken - this one sounds like "chi chi"
bean
apple
banana - he just says nana
cheese
open
close
chair

As you may notice, he knows a lot of important words, most of them involve food!
