I don’t know how we forgot about your recent habit of saying (38) “no”. To be exact, “no no no” to everything. It started a week ago, you just started saying “no” on top of waving your head. Now you say “no” to just about any question we ask.

A few more words: (26) peixe (fish), (27) pá pá, (28) tsh tsh. Pá pá has 2 uses: you heard daddy and vovô hitting nails with a hammer and kept repeating the noise, and you use to say you want to play with the tennis racket, because that’s the sound of the racket hitting the ball on a tennis game (which you hear a lot since your vovô watches tennis games on TV and plays tennis while you are at the playground). You drag the racket around the house saying pá pá. Tsh tsh is the sound of the pressure cooker which you hear a lot since vovó makes beans every couple of days. You decided that all the pots in the stove are “tsh tsh” when cooking, and requests that we take you near by so you can see what’s cooking.

The new words for the past few days while Mommy was on a business trip: (21) “banana”, (22) “papá” (food), (23) “arara” (macaw, because you have a finger puppet which is an arara head), (24) “lindo(a)” (beautiful) and (25) “mamá” (nurse).

You can say (14) “mais” (more) when you want more food. When we go out and you see other kids, you say (15) “mina” (menina/girl) and (16) “mino” (menino/boy). You actually managed to say “menina” today. When you see a car you say (17) “bi bi” (the noise the car makes). You can say (18) “mimi” (dormir/sleep) but you don’t use it always in the right situation yet. You say (19) “miau, miau” (meow) when Gato meows. You are trying to say your first word in English, (20) “bubba” (bubbles/bolhas).
