Talking Toddler

Well finally the toddler talks! Well, more or less. She has been saying so many more words recently, it's so fun! 

Probably the cutest thing she does is her animal noises. Not exactly talking, but close enough. She will make the animal noises no matter how grouchy or tired she is. Many of the noises sound the same, with very minor variations. The animals she knows are:

Horse: shakes her head and makes neigh sound. 

Goat: (see horse)

Pig: some sort of a throat noise 

Dog: ooof

Cat: a nasal meow (probably my favorite one!)

Monkey: ooo ooo

Lion: rahr

Cow: Booooo (no, not a typo) 

The words she says changes from day to day, sometimes she will say a single word all day and then we won't ever hear it again. She will randomly try and copy a word you say; but never ever when promoted too. Some of her words are:

Mama: not always appropriately though, will point to random people and say it. But if you ask her where is mama, she immediately points to me. 

Go-go: dog

Nigh nigh: good night

Mo: more

El: help

Er go: here you go (whenever she hands you anything)

Nooooo: drags it out every time, doesn't ever just say no. 

Hi: to everyone, everywhere! 

I'm probably missing some, but that's about it. She understands everything, it's crazy! She knows who most of the family members are, and points to them appropriately when asked "where is ____?"  

I'm sure the parrot stage is not too far off. It is really fun to watch her learn this all and continue to develop. She is so precious and such a blessing to us!
