There's nothing wrong in Babybel speaking french since we are in France, you exclaim. But she hasn't been to school for almost 2 weeks due to the summer holidays so she hears only english 24/7. French tv has been limited to at most 1 hour a day. So where did that phrase come from? And in a sentence?
Even stranger, Babybel has taken to calling me "Maman" (Mummy) sometimes. Yesterday she started to say "allo" on her toy phone instead of Haaar-low. Kevin thinks that she's stored up all these french terms in her head and it's starting to come out now that she's mastered her moto skills. What do you think?
So voila! My little french speaking girl... Now will you start speaking some english sweetie?

Haha... cheeky Belle!
For all you know, she's been speaking English school to irritate her French teachers! Yep, babies store things in their heads as they quietly focus and learn.
I remember this very quiet phase Bryan went through, between 9 months to 18 months. Then he started on 1 sentence phase, e.g. I want to go there. I want fries. Still not a lot though. And it went into explosion by 22nd month! There's no stopping after that!
Kristin, in contrast, has always been talkative but doesn't pay a lot of attention.
Btw, Belle looks just like you in this photo!
