Babies' Vocabulary...

Their vocabulary has now expanded quite a bit. Jun Yen still remains the one who is more vocal, and Jun Lee the more reluctant one, and she usually won't say it unless she says it right. Jun Yen on the other hand is willing to just say whatever she can, accurate pronunciation or not. The way she calls Pooh Pooh (for Winnie the Pooh) comes out as "Fooh Fooh" which is so cute...

Yup, they pretty much know all the major characters in that cartoon. Pooh Pooh, Rabbit, Eeyore and KangaRoo.

They can also say their own names now, though not entirely accurate. Jun Lee comes out as "Juniee" while Jun Yen sounds like "Junien".

Still, they occasionally surprise us by saying something we don't expect them to know. Just yesterday as I was getting dressed for work, I was talking to them and asked, "Where is Papa going?" whereupon they both answered "work"!!!

Babies' Toys...

The girls don't seem to be very interested in toys. And by that I mean the real toys. Instead they seem to like playing with the everyday items. List includes stools, indoor slippers, containers of all sorts...

Jun Lee making Teh Tarik...

Our Bowls and Cups...

They also love printed material of all kinds including books (not just the childrens' books) magazines, pamphlets... and they tend to stuff the latter under the glass top of the table.

Last month, Grandma bought them a set of plastic bowls and spoon (the real kind as used in restaurants) as toys, and so far it's kept them amused as they pretend to eat of of them, and also offering some of the (imaginary) food to us.
