Bird is the Word

Last week LS said her first English word. Bird. It (Pássaro) was one of the first Portuguese words she recognized. We decided to start mixing in some English, especially the words that she already knows well in Portuguese. She's now on to "foot" and "knee" and a couple other things.

Of course, now learning words also means she can try to say them. Soon after recognizing the word, she was saying it. "Burrrd" We tried to get it on camera, but the camera draws her interest when it's near (we need a spy-cam!).

Papai immediately thought of this song when she was saying it. She'll even sing along a little if you sing it with her (alternating verses)!

Here's where I actually heard the song for the first time. Funny stuff.

  1. "Oh, Have you not heard?" :) That was a great episode.

    As for trying to catch her talking with the camera, you might also consider getting one of those "Flip" cameras. They're small, relatively inexpensive, and you could put it on a mini tripod.
