New Words

(This picture really doesn´t have anything to do with new words but it is cute. Actually his favorite word is still Agua. He now gets his tub puts it in the shower, turns on the water and takes a bath in his pjs. All of this he does in seconds so I have to be fast and the bathroom door ALWAYS has to stay closed!)


Josiah likes to try to repeat what we say now but sometimes he says a word out of the blue. Here are some of his new ones.

Teeth
Juice
doves du (loves you)
Ammmoon (moon)
Stars
Ampoo (Shampoo)
Baby and bebe
Bottle and chupon
Milk and leche
Frio (cold)
Papas (french fries)
Wet
Na Na (nada, none, like none left, all gone)
Wow
Up
Listo (ready) he gets his shoes and hat and bring them and says "listo" so that I will take him out
Ha (hot)
Rico
Apple
Queso (cheese)


It is intresting that a lot of his first words were in Spanish but now all of his new ones have been in English. He has also been learning two words for the same thing (see pairs above). Sometimes it is one and sometimes the other. Also he is learning how things feel (wet, frio) and feelings like (loves you).

He is also starting to really express no opionions or shakes his head and says hmum but he also is very expresive of yes as well though doesn´t agree as much as disagree. When he is happy and wants something he will say "Si" or "whoo" and clap or raise his hands.

Rachel I am so glad that your little boy is learning so much English because his Auntie wants to talk with him so much!!! I can't wait until you all get here. I hope it is before April as we will be up there in April I think. :)

Yes, before April, please!

It's so great that you are teaching Josiah to be bilingual.
