Raphael had been very vocal and recently... He can try to pronounce whatever you want him to, provided you bribe him or if his mood is good.

For example, we have absolutely no idea that he knows how to identify all his body part till that day we were drinking a packet Milo and Raphael wanted it badly.

Daddy ask him where is his nose, eyes, head, mouth, tongue, feet, hands, fingers, toes, ear etc, he can point to them correctly.Best part is he can even try to pronounce the word and not to mentioned, is accurately identifying each of these.

Putting aside body parts, he can also pronouce daily items like Chairs, Table, Bus, Car, Ball, Socks, Shoes, Duck, Dog, Cat, Tree, Grass, Water, Milo, Yakult, Bubbles, Bear, Walk, Run, Fish,Fan, TV, Clock, Light, Orange, Apple... the lists goes on and on....and not forgeting the 26 Alphabets and 1-9 numbers!!!

Wohooo! Also, he is not blindly remembering such items as he can also identify variation of these objects, such as a green apple is an apple, a Red one also is an apple!The clock at our home is a clock, the clocks he sees outsides are also clocks!!

Mummy and Daddy are so proud...shows that our on and off efforts of flashing him cards, acting silly, singing the body parts song paid off..Of cause most efforts are also contributed by Grandpa and Grandma Teo who had been religiously teaching him daily.
Oh...Mummy is always so talkative and long winded...Back to the topic of calling "Jie Jie"

Raphael first call to Jie Jie was actually calling Aunty Doris at Kindermusic yesterday. Raphael called Aunty Doris "Aunty" and she joking ask Raphael to call her "Jie Jie"..Then Raphael start to call her Jie Jie.

At night when we reach Grandma Phay house, Yvette Jie JIe is there! When Raphael saw her, he keep calling her "Jie Jie"!! haha...its so fun to see him calling Yvette Jie Jie!!Raphael went around chasing Yvette and its so sweet!!
