What Remy is up to

--written by Paul during some slow moments at work


Counting
  • She knows 2, 4, 6, and 8 and inserts them as you say the odd numbers

Songs

  • Itsy Bitsy Spider: she'll do the hand motions sometimes, especially the spider climbing part;
  • Ring Around the Rosies: She says "up" to get you to do it with her, and she loves falling down so much that she falls halfway through the song;
  • Head Shoulders Knees and Toes: she'll squat with her hands downward, then end with both hands pointing to her noes;
  • Others: she recognizes other songs, but treats them like Ring Around the Rosies and falls down halfway through

Words

  • Animals: dog, cat, duck, horse, bear, sheep, lion, frog, chicken, cow, owl, fish, elephant, and some others with their respective noises, except a giraffe which has no noises.
  • Family: mom, dad, Remy, grandma, grandpa, Mallory, Joshua, Amos (because we see them often)
  • Body parts: eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, neck, chin, cheeks, ears, knees and toes (obviously), hair, hands, feet, belly
  • Actions: sit, help, touch, stand, couch (which means run and sit on the couch), 

Other

  • She loves her Shows which are Little Baby Bum cartoons on youtube. We ask "do you want to watch a show?" and she'll yell "show!" and clap her hands and wiggle back and forth.
  • She loves cereal; that's my bad.
  • She loves nectarines; that's Nat's bad.
  • She loves her parents.

Nat's note:

This morning we were all ready to leave for work. Remy pointed at the wedding portrait on our wall and said, "Dad!" She pointed again and said "Mom!" She then pointed at Paul and said, "Dad!" Then pointed at me and said, "Mom!" It's starting to connect in her brain and it's fascinating to watch.

She then pointed at her shirt, pants, and socks and called them out by name.

It was this funny little moment where Remy decided to show off her words without prompting. She's evolving!
