He loves the word Butterfly, but when he repeats it, he says "Buh - wer - whyyyyy"...he loves to elongate that last syllable.
Numbers are coming along (I keep convincing myself, but in reality I am sure he doesn't have much of a clue what the concept of numbers actually is). We start out by having him repeat 1 and 2. He always skips ahead at this point to saying the specific numbers 5 and 8 (in that order). Sometimes, he sticks in a 7. Mind you, this is not in English - much too difficult! This is all in simple, single syllable, Chinese words.
We've also got this new bedtime routine that we look forward to every night. We read a book with milk, brush teeth (insert lots of fussing here), recite the animals and vehicles on his mobile (butterfly, dinosaur, bee, bus, plane), lay him down, put his stuffed frog in his arms which he then hugs, say "Night Night" (he repeats) and tonight when I said "love you" he said "uh you" back to me! (I immediately scampered out to call Dae in Sacramento and recount the evening's events, word for word). Very exciting stuff over here!
