Counting and Bela’s Vocabulary

Bela really loves to count. Every time she’s holding on to something, she would start counting and will even give us a summary of how many is the total for whatever she is holding.

Bela holding 2 balls:

Bela: “Wannn, Two. Two Balls”

Lola holding 5 umbrellas:

Bela: “Wannn, two, tiii, four, five. Five Umbella”

And her vocabulary is continually increasing. Sometimes Howell and I are shocked since we didn’t even teach her that word and we can just hear her blurt it out. (This made us realize that she is a sponge and so we have to be careful with everything that we say in front of her.) Last night, we are watching Baby Einstein Noah before going to bed and she can identify all the animals there like lizard, sea lion, giraffe, polar bear, koala bear, kangaroo, etc.
