She will speak to us using vowels that are interspersed with more consonants and she has more control over sounds, using a variety of tones, pitches and speeds when she talks. She will vocalize her feelings and coo, gurgle and giggle when she is pleased, and grunt, growl or complain when she is displeased. She will blow bubbles and will begin to make new sounds, as well as repeat “O”, “Ah” and “Ge” very often. She smiles to herself in the mirror and responds to the sounds of words rather than their meaning; she may start to understand simple sentences such as “pong pong/straighten you legs/give mummy your hands/let go your hand etc". She recognizes her name and will look at you when you call her.
She will reach out to touch you and explore your face while she smiles at you. She will begin to display clear preferences for play activities and favorite toys or books....
