Ali's speech is definitely improving but she is also having trouble pronouncing certain sounds in English. The two that I've most recently noticed was that she mixes up the 'K' sound with the 'T' sound. Some examples are she says 'Teira' rather than 'Keira' when addressing our little friend Keira. She also says 'Toszi' (pronounced more like toosie) rather than 'Koszi' which means thank you in Hungarian.
The other mix up she currently has is 'W' with 'F'. So, she says 'Falk' instead of 'Walk'. There was another 'W' word that she used earlier today but now I cannot remember. 'Falk' took us a while to work out. Oh, that's it! Work! When we talk about Mommy and / or Daddy going to work she repeats 'fork' but not like the kitchen utensil but rhyming with work so more like 'ferhk'.
She's obsessed with gum. She loves the stuff. She's been chewing it for a few months now. I know, I know... she's definitely too young and has definitely had a few mishaps by accidentally swallowing it. Now, she chews it without ever swallowing it. Of course, I only buy the sugar free stuff but she asks for gum every day. She cries if she doesn't have any. But, we have to put our foot down when she asks for gum before breakfast!
