My Little Linguist


While writing some things down for Freyja's baby journal and reflecting on the past 18 months, it dawned on me that she's become quite the little conversationalist. In honor of her special day, I thought I'd post a little list of some of her favorite words.

Mommy
Mom
Mama (for Grandma)
Papa (for Grandpa)
Baby
Me (when she points at herself in the mirror or in a picture)

Cat, Kitty
Puppy
Duck
Deer
Bee
Butterfly
Fish (she pronounces it "shish")
Pooh, Eeyore (from Winnie-the-Pooh)

Ball
Boat
Keys
Bubbles
Towel
Ba Ba (for bottle)
Clock
Paper
Pool
Tattoo
Shoe
Hat

Yeah, Yes
Hi
Bye, Bye-Bye
Uh-Oh!
Boom! (when she falls down)
Beep!

Eye
Ear, Earring
Hair

Empty, Full
Open, Shut
On, Off
Up, Down

Eat
Sit
Hot

Juice
Pop
Cheese
Chicken
Apple
Banana (she pronounces it "nam-nam")
Ice

Moo! (for cow)
Woof! (for dog)
Meow! (for cat)
Caw! Caw! (for bird)
Ooh Ooh! (for monkey)
Baa! (for sheep)
Neigh! (for horse)
Grrr! or Ow! (for bear)
Cluck! (for chicken)
Ssssss! (for snake)

Oh, man!
I'm gonna get you!
Awesome!

Hahaha! I especially like "tatoo"!!!!! :-) :-) :-)

Well, as far as talking goes, it seems that Timothy has some catching up to do, and not just in English. I am amazed!

No...I think Freyja just says a freakish amount of words! I'm not sure it's normal. I just remembered like 10 more words she says today, but I didn't feel like editing the post. Just now, she reached up onto my desk, grabbed the scissors...and then screamed, "MAMA! SCISSORS!!!" What am I going to do with this girl???

Yes, hmmm, for some odd reason, Timothy isn't learning the word tatoo. I wonder why that is???
