Building Sentences
Actually I have wanted to note this milestone when I write Darrius’s progress report later this month but I was quite excited about it as it’s a major achievement for him… I’ve never expect him to move so fast but was glad in a way as we can communicate better… at least we know what he wants or trying to tell us.
For the past few days, Darrius has been linking words together to form a sentence. Normally he will say either one or two syllabus words only. I was feeding him his breaky and as usual I will give him something to read (normally brochures) to distract his attention (so he won’t ask for this or that toys). He was flipping through the pages and he was a picture of a boy cutting something on the chopping board and said loudly…
Darrius: Kor-kor cut meat (loud and clear)
Me: (Surprised) Oh! What is kor-kor doing?
Darrius: Kor-kor cut meat
I was quite surprised that he knew how to say the word ‘cut’ as I’ve never really teach him but just simply tell him as I explain the pictures or when I was doing my cooking that I am cutting stuff… guessed he picked words up when I’m talking to him.
In the afternoon, he was crying and I gathered he was hungry. So I told him I will go make milk for him.
Me: Mommy go make milk-milk for you now ok?
Darrius: Ma-mii ma-ke milk-milk. Ma-mi ma-ke milk-milk
Me: What is mommy doing?
Darrius: Ma-mii ma-ke milk-milk
In another occasion, he wanted to play with the remote control and I forbade him so he cried and keep repeating “Ai wan blay, Ai wan blay“….
In fact the past few days he has been bli-bli-bleh-bleh away non-stop to himself. While he’s reading his books or the brochures he will mumbles away loudly and will come to me and blah-blah-blah…. sometimes I can understand what he was trying to say but there are times when I really have no idea at all!
But above all…. I’m still proud of this lil kay-poh-chi of mine…

Aiyo, looks like Belle is an under-achiever when comes to vocab. It’s okay, we’re patient.
I’m so proud of Darrius too! 
Don’t worry Vien, Belle will just talk non stop one day!
I think Belle is doing great too… at least she can feed herself and even use the chopsticks!

Ryan’s day will come………
Darrius is almost 19-month lioa.

Yalor… he’s our echo!
so cute lar. i can’t wait to communicate with brandon like that. at least i understand what he wants, instead of guessing about it and he got mad becos i got it wrong.
hahaha… Brandon is so cute. Is like when they don’t talk we worry but when they do it gets really annoying at times.
Don’t worry Anna, one day you will wish Brandon to keep quiet for a while so you can have some peaceful time…
he is indeed a fast talker!
Yalor… kaypoh mah! LOL
Woww…Darrius is developing very fast!! Bravo!!
Thanks!
So fun, get to talk to Darrius now…must be a chi-cha-kong soon!
Yeah boy… he is one chatterbox!
Wah, so fast he can talk liao….i wonder how old is he actually…:-p

*clap-clap-clap* clever boy. ok next sentence to learn is “when are we going to KL again” ok repeat after aunty angeline……..
mUahahhahaa! I think he will say that very soon!!
Wahhhh…so clever Darrius! My Ethan is 15 months already but still not speaking, only babbling.
Don’t worry, Ethan will talk just that all kids progress differently.
Chloe never made sense of so many words.. till she was almost 2.5 yrs old. So clever of Darrius..!
I was surprised too that Darrius knew how to link those words together.
I can understand your excitement. THe other day, when Bryan saw the roti van, he said, “Mah meeee mai loh ti” (mommy buy bread)…kekeke, yeah it is a mixture of English + Mandarin + Hokkien, but i was so proud. Gotta blog about it….
Way to go for Bryan!
I only speak English to Darrius so he still very ignorant about other languages or dialects.
Darrius is so clever. Can even form a sentence below 2 years old. amazing…
Thanks for the praise…
Smart boy & great progress in speech for his age. Mommy must be talk talk talk to him everyday.
Yalor, have to entertain him so might as well talk to him!
Amazing darius, keep up the good job! Becareful not to swear hor, kids pick up very fast one, I spotted my boy saying the F word once out of a blue moon. But he knew it was bad, he felt shy after saying it.
Yeah boi! Now he echo after us… so I warned PiggyBeng lioa not to swear in front of Darrius.
Darrius is so clever and cute!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks dear.
I’m sure you are – that is an impressive start. Not to mention that he is intelligent too. Mommy has done a great job! Well done!
Thanks! Thanks!
Thats great. Chatty little guy. He’ll be debating you for that remote control in no time.
He don’t have to debate for the remote he will cry for it!
Smart boy!! Isn’t it fun when they start talking in sentences & able to have a conversation with u?
Yeah, it can be really fun when he can pick up what we want him to know.
yea… Bravo to Darrius….. talk to them more and they will pick up real fast one. My MIL can’t wait to talk to En En when she’s just 2 months old and “papa” was her first words to us when she’s just 5mth. Now she can understand what we are talking about and even turned her face to us when we talked at her back!
Wow! Smart girl you have there! So, never talk behind her back lioa! Must talk in front!
