Parenting blog of a Parisian French expat mum in Canada. About parenthood, photography, bilingualism, languages and the little things in life.
Sixtine turned 11 months old today and said her first word (other than Papapapapa, Mamamama, and Bababababa which don’t really mean much). I asked her in French (I speak French 95% of the time) if she wanted her “tétine” (which is the French for pacifier) and she said with a smile: “téti” as I was handing it to her. She had never made that sound before and I was very proud of my little one!
Happy 11 months to my wonderful baby girl.
Welcome & thank you for visiting my blog ! My name is Deb, I am a 28-year old Parisian French expat mum and I live in Prince Edward Island, Canada with my husband and beautiful daughters Sixtine and Victoire. I am an amateur photographer, and I write about parenting, and the little things in life that matter. Stay in touch !
That must be so amazing! Congrats to Sixtine!
OH my god Go Girl!! awesome
Do you remember your first word? B’s was “light” (artist!), mine was the very diplomatic “MaPa” to please both parents
“Light”…so artistic indeed! I will have to ask my mother…I am curious to find out!
OMG so cuuute !!! Well done Sissi
Oh my goodness how cute! It’s so adorable to hear of a baby speaking in another language! My sister in law is from Argentina and some of my niece’s first words are in Spanish, which is totally amazingly cute to me!
I know, right? I am so excited that her first word was a French one
hehe
Well done Sixtine! The first word for both my older children was “tickle”. BB has yet to say his first word, so maybe a hat trick?
That is so cute! And it is not so much of an easy word to pronounce either…Love it! Since then, she has been trying to repeat the words I say…they don’t always come out right but it is so exciting! I can’t believe how much she has grown…she is both trying to walk and talk at the same time! GO BIG OR GO HOME haha! x
It’s a huge learning curve from here, it’s a very exciting time. By the time a child reaches 2 (or 3?) years old they have more than 200 words in their vocabulary.
When I look at BB I can’t believe he’s the same baby he was nearly a year ago. He’s now in clothes his brother wore only a few months ago and is only about two inches shorter (LB is almost 2) but he’s still my baby “squidge”!
Talking about these gorgeous babies is making me pull kissy faces
Awe so sweet and such a cute first word!
First word, and in French too!
ohhhhhh
please record her 24/7…
she is so so beautiful and love her new word. Isn’t it so lovely when they start to speak?!
Thank you… I think it is heart-melting…!
