Me: Daddy is downstairs.
Everly: Oh.
Seriously? A not-quite-nineteen month old uses the term, "oh" correctly? Well, I have been listening carefully to her use of it, and it seems as though she does!
And though her vocabulary seems to increase exponentially on a daily basis, here are some of her (and my) faves:
- Bumblebee (as in her Halloween costume that she loves to wear at any random moment, which was given to her by her Uncle Jimmy, aka "POPPY!" Interestingly, that is also what she calls my dad, and she adores them both.)
- Baby (she loves pointing out babies, even ones that are her age. She doesn't seem to get that she falls into the same category.)
- Elly (our dog, who she calls to on a regular basis. I think that she just likes to see if Elly will come to her.)
- yes (sounds like desssssss)
- silly (sounds like siwwy)
- my! (means my or mine, and is said very emphatically when she wants something)
- bus (she correctly calls out the name when she sees one on the road, which kind of caught me off guard the first time she did it)
- book (of which she wants many, many read)
- Max and Abby (her friends at school)
- Momo (aka Elmo)
- belly (sounds like belwy, generally said while pulling up her - or someone else's - shirt and pointing)
- beep (said with a giggle when touching someone's nose)
- and of course, baaaaaa! (her beloved purse/bag, for which she has hollored in the middle of the night, and which she carries around at school all.day.long)
