I am getting quite frustrated and worried with Nibbles. Her older brother has been influencing her alot. This is very apparent if you ask her, "who is that?" She replies, "Poopee". If you ask her, "What is that?", she replies "Butt". By this age, Woogy had learned his colors (mostly), his shapes, alot of his numbers and letters, and he knew most people's names.
Nibbles doesn't even talk coherently yet. She has never really liked us to read to her. She has only let us start reading to her about 3-4 months ago, but she doesn't really pay attention at all. Woogy let me read to him starting at age 1 and he let me read 20 stories at a time. He also worked with me when I was trying to teach him shapes and colors. Nibbles shows no interest when I try to teach her anything, unless it's on the computer. She can almost navigate the computer by herself. She can start her favorite Dora CD and start the internet by herself. When she learns how to type "Nick Jr", she will be unstoppable.
So last night, we were at home group and the couple whose house we meet at has a little 1 year old girl. She can say almost anything. The dad sat there quizzing his daughter about tons and tons of stuff. She is amazing. So I told them what Nibbles can say, her two favorite words, and not 2 minutes later, she comes out and calls me, "Pooppee butt". Need I say more!

Well at least she can use a computer. Maybe we should look into getting her some more games that she will be interested in. Those games she likes are pretty educational.
It sounds like she has BB's sense of humor.
Would she use a "see and say"? NJ likes the Dora and Diego "see and say" he has.
Poooopppeeee butt! At least she knows the two words go together. :)
Everyone has their own pace and interests, I guess. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with a focused interest in computers to the exclusion of a lot of other things, but I might be a tad biased.
What exactly is a see and say????
Sounds like the adventures of child rearing...poopee butt makes everyone but Mom laugh!
"See and Says" have an arrow that spins and points at different pictures and when you pull the string or lever it says the word that the arrow is pointing to. Cow, cat, dog, etc.
Yes, Nibbles just played with a Diego one at Fred Meyer tonight. She was not interested in it. Nice idea though.
