Addie Says

Every two or three days, Addie seems to master a new word. Today's word is happy....which makes me unbelievably happy. Already in her repertoire:

• Dada (when we practice her words, I'll say one and she'll repeat it. I say Daddy, and she repeats it Dada)
• Mommy
• Tita
• GG (that's what she calls my grandma)
• Jack (that's my grandma's dog - it comes out more like ja)
• Good Girl (goo gir, sometimes when she knows she did something naughty, she looks at me and says goo gir?)
• Clean Up (peen up)
• Ball (bah)
• Dog (dah)
• Apple
• Baby
• No
• Up
• Down
• Hi
• Bye
• Uh oh
• Oh no
• Night Night (nigh, nigh)
• Teeth (she just started saying this one last night)

I swear she knows Arlene too, but I can't get her to say it consistently.

Editor's Note: Since Wednesday, she has added a few more words to her list.

• Changa (that's Spanish for her monkey...well...we thinks it's a word...Chango is definitely the word for monkey in Mexico...we might have made up the feminine version)
• Stinky (this one is said while holding her nose)
• Nana (that's short for banana)
• Think, Think, Think (she says this while tapping her head with her finger)
