For a few weeks the same two nonsense sounds/words have been coming out of her mouth. She says them to herself. The words are 'Apoo' promptly followed by 'Gagoo'.
We just didnt have a clue and what she was going on about. She wasn't trying to say them to us. She would just be standing there facing a wall and say them. Each time she said the two words she would touch the wall, table or the fridge..what ever was infront of her.
Then...
Yesterday i was sitting in her room with her, just infront of her Safespace and she found a book, which we hadnt looked at since way before xmas. She opened the book to the same page that she always opens it too. Took my hand and made me point at the pictures...i promtly said what animal i was touching. First 'Hippo' then 'Flamingo'. This is repeated for about 10+ times. Then as i said Hippo she said 'Apoo'! then when i said Flamingo she said 'Gagoo'!
Now this book hasn't been out in months and when it was out before she would always make me say hippo and flamingo(by taking my hand to point at the pic)...but she never said anything at that time. I'm amazed that she has remember! and that inside her she's been thinking about it and trying to say it!!!
