mayra 14 months
Hello hello. After a loooong silence here’s a little movie that Mayra and I took with B’s new computer. So much fun playing with the webcam features! Mayra is fascinated by eyes and eyelashes at the moment, and loves playing ‘inai, inai, baa !’ (Japanese for ‘peekaboo!’). She was intrigued to watch herself on the screen.
Now at 14 months, Mayra the toddler is walking sturdy steps, has 1 bottom tooth and 3.5 upper teeth, always happily waving hello and bye-bye to everybody in passing. Dogs and other animals are still a favorite, as is playing with sand and water, and climbing stairs and other things. She is turning into quite a little chatter box. “Mayra-go” is still her main language, followed closely by sign language. She knows how to sign about 12 signs, and recognizes many more.
Some of the Dutch words she says (and simultaneously signs if she knows the sign): mama, papa, ‘ba~’ (bal = ball), ‘pphoe’ (poes = cat), ‘dhaa’ (daar = there), ‘appe’ (appel = apple), ‘manana’ (mandarijn = mandarin)
Japanese: ‘wan-wan’ (dog), anpan (= anpan-man, a Japanese animation character)
Spanish: ‘poh-poh’ (popo = poo)
All of this making us very proud of course!
