Winston is eleven and a half months old.
He can say:
Mama ..and variations .. mamamamaamama muu ma me .. he does a good growly voice mama which is quite well pronounced
Dada .. and variations .. dadadadadeedapadpdaa
Ba .... for banana
Ömer .... for Elmer (as in the elephant books) .. but he uses it generally to mean books.. and more excitedly when he sees an Elmer book or the word Elmer
mmmmm .. for each mouthful of food - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVM5q4oMQXM
He can read .. or has previously been able to read (Doman says that one shouldnt go back to old words and test him)
mamma - I know because he looked at the word and said it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5qE9F42Hbc
squeeze - i know because he smiles when he sees the word because he knows a big squeeze is coming
skratta - laugh in swedish .. he laughs when he sees it
laugh - he laughs when he sees it
I am also teaching Winston numbers using the Doman method ... no idea if he understands any numbers yet but he seems quite interested in them.
He can understand ..
Today he understood "give mummy the sock" (said by daddy) . I would say that is the most complex sentence he has clearly understood .
Toilet (Elimination communication - elimination as in eliminating the waste from the body... strange phrase)
He usually tells us when he wants a wee .. often he will crawl up to me grab my trousers and say "ah ah ah" or something. Today was a bad day and most wees were in his training pants, however usually its only 1 or 2 wees in the training pants each day, and poos are outside the toilet/potty/sink (yuk) only once every two weeks. http://www.diaperfreebaby.org/
Eating
I reckon about 85% of his calories still comes from breast milk. At (non-boob) mealtimes about 90% of the food goes on the floor. He loves sweetcorn. Quite likes curry. He enjoys sucking a lemon. He mainly seems to suck on stuff then spit it out. I suppose because he has no back teeth yet, so chewing doesnt work. However enough food seesm to find its way in to his poo.. so he must be swallowing quite a bit. http://www.babyledweaning.com/
Transport
We are selling our pram.. as we use slings..its so much more convenient... he gets to see more.. he can sleep better.. its good for the relationship... and carrying 10kg of Winston on the back is quite healthy too.
