Samuel words

You are trying really hard to communicate with us and you make your feelings known in no uncertain terms when you don't get what you want. You are just 17 months old - we are a just a little bit nervous of the two-year-old + tantrums ahead, as you are already putting on a good show.


You understand everything we say and can follow quite complicated instructions (if it suits you). You can say:

• Hi
• hej hej
• An-na
• Dad-dee
• Mum-mee
• mi-a-ow
• cheers
• cheese
• baa
• cuck-oo
• dog
• Brmm-brum! (when he sees a car or a motobike),
• uh-oh!
• gynge-gange
• key
• door
• up
• apple
• quack (kind of)

You can make the clip-clop sound like a horse, and blow air out like a horse does when it is hot.
You can nod your head and shake your head but it is not always what you mean.

You like being tickled and cuddled and hung upside down. You like reading stories with us and will choose the book and take us by our hands to come and sit down with you.

You love going to fetch Anna from school and you are delighted when Daddy comes home - Da-da-dad-DEE!

We can’t imagine life without you.
