Vocabulary Update

Since we are bad about keeping a baby book, I tend to use the blog for these types of things. If you are here for the pictures, scroll down to the bottom.

Amelie is turning into quite the little talker.

Here is a list of words that she says with translation--at least those that we understand.

Da Da or sometimes Da-ee - Your author

Mamama - Mommy

Da Da! - Jack Jack. Okay, I know spelling it out looks the same as Daddy above, but it sounds different. It's almost always said with an (imagined) exclamation point and there is a little throaty sound as if she is trying to say the "ck."

Nuh Nuh Nuh! - No no (Usually said in an ornery voice as she crawls for electric outlets.)

Hi! (with wave) - My heart melts every time I get a sweet, high pitched "Hi Da-ee."

Di Di! (with wave) - Bye Bye

Night Night! (new as of this week)
Uh Oh!
Eeek! - Peek!

Tahk ew - Thank you. Kind of. She usually says it when she wants something, like to get out of her crib after a nap or when she wants some more Peach Nicotine Yogurt Melts or more Puffs. (She can't get enough of those nasty Yogurt Melts.)

Ba-buh - Bottle. I haven't heard her say this in a couple of days, though.

Ang-ee - Frankie

Xgghhit-ee - Kitty (What Jack and Kate call Clara) - Kind of like with Jack Jack, she makes this throat noise, though when Amelie says kitty it sounds like she is clearing her throat.

Within the past couple of weeks she has also started imitating the sounds of some of the words we say, or her even what her toys say.

Jack will talk for forty-five minutes straight in the car without pausing on the way home from daycare. I'm afraid Amelie may eventually outdo him.

And for those of you who visited for pictures...

Sorry, but Amelie does not want her picture taken this evening, especially while eating.
