Talking up a storm

Lily is in the midst of something called a language explosion. I like it much better than her earlier explosions, which I coined "Poopsplosions". Yes, language explosions are much nicer. Here is a partial list of her words, in no particular order:

1. Sesa (always whispered, meaning Sesame Street)


2. Papa (for Grandpa)


3. Didu (Grammy is glad that she's no longer refering to her as DooDoo)


4. Botch (Gretch)


5. Bert (from Sesa)


6. Abby (from Sesa)


7. Bobby (Barney, the uber-annoying purple dinosaur)


8. Nana (banana or Nana, depending on the context)


9. Oh (Ota)


10. Mommy (sometimes Mama, but lately Mommy)


11. Dada (sometimes Daddy)


12. Ami (Her doll Amelie)


13. Ball


14. Up


15. Down


16. Yes


17. No


18. Elp (Help)


19. Apple


20. Weee! (Swing or park)


21. F,S,P,M,N,V,Z (the letters)


22. In


23. Out


24. On


25. Off


26. Bus


27. Me


28. Lil-lil-lil (Lily)


29. Baby


30. Babies


31. More


32. Thump (Frosty the snowman-related)


33. Block


34. Cheese


35. Ha-ha (Bunny)


36. Neow (Kitty cat)


37. A million other animal sounds


38. Nose


39. Mouth


40. Ears


41. Eyes


42. Ni-ni shh shh (bed)


43. Baff (bath)


44. Hi


45. Bye


46. Books


47. Oct-pus (Octopus)


48. Lala (Princess)


49. Ah-ah-ah (Evil queen)


50. Ah ah ah, ah ah ah (Mermaid)
51. Hot
52. Wet
53. Niiiiice (Lotion)

55. Beans

Yep, even when she says "no!" and runs away, I'll take language explosions over Poopspolsions any day.
