Animal Sounds

Sierra's verbal skills has been growing dramatically recently. Here, she is reviewing a new Zoo book she just got a couple days ago... associating animals with the sounds they make. Her enunciation isn't so great, but we can recognize the following:

Lion - Rowr!

Sea Lion - wuff wuff

Snake - ssssss

Monkey - ooo ooo ooo

Frog - her version of ribbit ribbit (cracks me up!)

Tiger - grrrr

In this clip, you'll also hear her say "apples".

This next video is to show you one of her favorite toys - a ride on lion. When you press the nose, it will usually go "ROWR" followed by some music.




The reason why I showed the previous clip is because we've noticed on occasion, when you ask Sierra what sound a lion makes, she'll say "rowr" followed by quiet singing and wiggling around, like she is dancing. I think she is associating lions with music, too! This next clip... the second time she roars for the lion in middle of the clip, look closely. It is subtle, but she does the dancing thing to a small degree afterwards.



She will also make the following sounds on occasion -

birds/ducks - ka ka ka

owl - oo ooo oo ooo

dog - wuff wuff, and she can actually say "dog"

cat - meow

fish - she calls them "yu" (fish in chinese)

bear - she can say "bear", although sometimes calls them "baby" since she has a stuffed bear we refer to as "baby bear"
