Understanding words/phrases

AppleBlossom · Feb 3rd, 2009, 14:03 PM

Does anyone's LO understand words/phrases? Grace understands and responds to a couple. If you say clap hands she claps her hands, if you say dance she wiggles really fast from side to side, if you say hiya sometimes she waves her hands and if you say open she opens her mouth

nope, nothing. Alasdair doesn't understand anything! He just smiles...whatever you say. Smiles. I don't know if there is an age that they should do this stuff at...?

Nothing.

Not even his name.

But that's hardly surprising cos we hardly ever call him by his proper name, it's always a pet name of some sort. Better start calling him "Mark."

lol Jen! We always call Alasdair either Ally or Pickle. I guess at least Ally is a shortened form but Pickle...well we better stop with that!

Colton knows "bite" for food, "drink" for a drink, he knows "high five", "dance", "NO", "kiss" (but wont always give kisses, only about 50/50), "come here", and probably more but I've never thought of keeping up with this..

oh yeah.. and "peekaboo".. thats one of his favs! If you say it he will start hiding behind something!

Dec is a lot older than most of your babies but he understands just about everything, I think he was about 10 months when he started to show interest in understanding me. I think it started with a kiss and high five. Oh and kick if we told him to kick a ball he would.
