Before babies start to speak, you often wonder when they will do so. Once they do open the mouth, you often "complain" that they speak too much :-)

Bobo just learned to speak not a while ago. To recent, she was able to speak mainly some simple 2 to 3 words. Living in a multi-language envirnoment, babies do take bit longer time to get used to, digest and learn what to speak. Since Bobo goes to daycare, she has used to hear and speak Finnish in the daytime. Therefore it makes bit more difficult to learn Chinese. The only way is through me.

Matias's mum noticed that Matias is interested in Chinese TV ads, since then she turns the TV on very often. She found Matias understand way better Chinese recently. Well I guess the only trick is to practice everyday.

This morning Bobo was playing with Tuomo in the living room. Suddenly she discovered there is a little hole on Daddy's sock. She immediately said "ei ole Anniina sukka riikki" (not broken Anniina's socks). I realized that she just has said perhaps her first 5 word sentence.

After getting up in the morning, Tuomo brought Bobo to wash teeth. Bobo knows that I don't like her bring teddy to the washing room. She handed over her favorite sleeping teddy and said "nalle katso" (teddy watch).

During the daytime nap, Bobo was jumping in her bed and saying "nalle läntää, nalle läntää" (teddy fly, teddy fly). At the same time, she was waving the teddy up and down like an airplane :-)

Daycare lady recently mentioned that Bobo has entered so called "No" period. Which means, she most time replies only No for every request.

"Anniina let's change dipper." - Ei (no)
"Anniina let's go to eat." - Ei (no)

Even when I go to pick her "Anniina let's go home. " - Ei (no) Bobo replies.

Heheee, she is developing her own strong will now. Since she is able to express herself step by step, at the same time she noticed people around her can also understand her.
