Vocabulary

Bella will be 20 months old tomorrow. She understands a lot of things in Spanish and English, and she is also starting to talk a lot more. Sadly I do not remember what all Sofia could say at this point, as we never wrote it down. But I do know she was definitely communicating very well by the time she turned two. And according to all the things I remember reading; she was right on track.

Here’s a sampling of all the things Bella can say by now. She probably knows a lot more words in English that I do not even know about. That happens with Sofia as well, since I really try not to speak English with them.
