Renzo started babbling often during our trip to Phuket (for his birthday celebration) back in August. When we returned to hotel room after a day of outing, we tried to play flash cards with Renzo by placing 2 cards in front of him, and when we ask "where is apple?", he will point at the card with an image of apple and try to repeat "apple".That's when he started to learn how to speak, prior to that he only picked up some basic words like Daddy and Mummy when he was about 7 months old.
Here's a list of his vocabulary as of today (in no particular order), things he can really pronounce but might not be that accurate:
| Daddy / Papa | Mama / Mummy | 爷爷 (his grandpa) | 奶奶 (his grandma) | 姨姨 (Feli's sister) |
| Ayeaye (well sometimes he will call out Auntie) | Dog (almost burst into tears when he saw a puppy walked away from him) | Apple | Orange (sometimes) | Car (well that's "dar dar" in his language though) |
| Bus (he can differentiate car and bus, effortless) | Eat (of course how can he not know this) | Biscuit | Bubble | Sweet Potato (not well pronounced yet but he definitely knows what's that) |
| Nose | Eyes | Mouth | No more | Full |
| Some more | Two (when you say ONE, he will reply TWO) | 鸡蛋 (egg in Chinese) | 小宝宝（baby in Chinese) | Baby |
| Baby Chan (well yes that's Renzo himself) | Milk (sometimes) | Water | Pee Pee (sometimes) | Poo Poo (sometimes) |
| 哥哥 (Feli taught him Kor Kor and he picked up Gege from Ayeaye instead) | 姐姐 | 妹妹 | 弟弟 | Mango (a must learn, so he will not put that in to his mouth next time) |
| 牙牙(whenever we say time to brush your teeth Renzo) | 不要 (sadly we cannot get him start on this, he will repeat it nonstop till i start to worry that he's trying to play with his tongue) | Zip | Yes | No |
| Book | Up | 小胖 (that's how our niece Cherry calls him, but if she could look at her baby time photos, she's not any thinner!) | Big Tummy | Careful |
| Swimming | Toes | 摇啊摇 (a little game we play with him where he sits on our stomach and werockhim) | Shoes | Ball Ball |
If that's all we could remember, about 50 words!!
And we have to credit this to Leapfrog DVD again because we realized that Renzo started to learn his words after watching this phonics DVD everyday. When we play the disk and alphabets start popping up on TV, he will try to mimic the phonetic sounds of "A", "B", "P", "L", "F", "S", "Z", etc...
Here's one of our favourite clips of featuring our little Poopersaurus showing off his linguistic mastery~
