Animal Sounds

She also knows a horse, sheep, giraffe, monkey, and fish.

Millie Bug is talking up a storm these days. Usually when I turn the camera on she stops talking and sticks her thumb in her mouth, but today she actually went along with what I was trying to accomplish.

We have been working on animal sounds for a while, but it wasn't until we got the book "MOO, BA, LA LA LA" by Sandra Boynton that Millie started to pick them up. Nowadays all Millie wants to do is read. She will bring a book to you, push you to a chair or point to the floor and say, "down, down" tell you to sit down and read to her. Today while I was trying to get my pajamas on after getting out of the bath tub Millie came in with a book and said, "No, No, weed, weed!" pushing on my legs to ge me to sit down.

super cute! but what does a giraffe and a fish say?

A giraffe sticks out his tongue and a fish makes a fishy noise (you know the motion with your mouth). I guess they are not as much a sound as they are motions. We are working on what a momma say....."Love you"

We saw a video on the internet of a young child (girl, I think) being asked the same questions. When asked what mommy says, she responds, "no, no, no." Hopefully that won't be Millie's response.

Uncle Gabe says that she should be taught that cows say, "moo cow."

Still to this day, every time I pass a cow while driving I have to say, "Moo Cow."
