New Words To Add!!!

I think its been a month since I last posted what words Koa has in his vernacular. He's building... slowly, but surely. He's getting more and more words that make us laugh, make us cry and yes, even make us go, "HUH?!" But then we laugh when we figure it out... it's so cute.

Here is his list from last month to recap:

1. Mama (my favorite!)
2. Dada
3. Ses (for Sissy)
4. Dih (for Dini the Dog)
5. Dah (for dog)
6. Eeya (for ear)
7. Eeee- tuh (for eat)
8. Che (for chip... how he learned that one I'll never know)
9. Shhzzz (for shoes)
10. Pih (for Pig)
11. Peez (for Please)

New Ones To Add:

12. ME! (As evident in the video below!)
13. No (usually said repeatedly, which is always cute)
14. Moo (as in cow sounds)
15. Moe (for more)
16. Pee (for feet)
17. Beebee (for baby)
18. Bah (for ball)
19. Har (for car)
20. Tat (for cat)
21. Kah-kah (for Kaukau, Hawaiian Pidgin for "Eat")
22. Bah (for bath)
23. Shi (for fish)
24. Cheyah (for train)

To update, there are more words that we have heard Koa say, but again, I have to reiterate that they haven't been consistent, so we can't count them just yet. These words listed are words that have been consistent and when he says them, he says them with the correct meaning and we understand him.

Unfortunately, there are some sounds that Koa seems to have lost, one of them being the "p" sound." He can say it for some words like, "feet" but in "please" it comes out as "eeeeze." Sometimes they come in and its "peeze" again, sometimes its gone. Again, more work to add to the pile.

Also, notice that a lot of the words are either the first sound or part of the word, not the whole word/ sound. This will come with tweaking as part of Apraxia is the missing of phonemes... Koa's getting there, and we're understanding him. It really is a wonder to see how far he's come thus far. We are so proud of him!
