I decided to follow the girls around and write down some of their phrases. These are some of the things that Gabriella is saying right now:
- "Fow-fer" (I want a GIANT "flower" on my head, not a bow!)
- "What's that smock?" (Where's my smock so I can eat?)
- "More wader" (I want more water please)
- "Uh-mare-jay" (Her pronounciation of "Amaris")
- "Me besta-friend" (Speaking of Amaris, and sometimes of our mama's helper nanny: Andi)
- "No Belle eat me food!" (She is telling the dog not to eat her food)
- "Me eat it first, Belle second!" (I ate my hummus first, the dog ate it second... don't freak out mama... no germs!) ... 5/7/13
- "Baba, me sleep a dream Baba. Is your back owee?" (This is the first time Gabriella has spoken about having a dream... she dreamed about Baba having a bad back - which he has never had, nor did he, but it was exciting to hear that she is dreaming and that she can now express that)... 5/17/13
- "Me more?" or "No, me more?" (I want more... can I have some?)
- "What's that?" (She asks this question a lot)
- "Me look!" or "Me see?"
- "Me like it!" (Generally this is in reference to food... which he talks about ALL day, asking what her next meal is and when)
- "Baba me true loves kiss!" (Baba is my true loves kiss, Mama is Amaris' true loves kiss... this phrase comes from one of our favorite movies: Enchanted)
- "No bite me sitter!" (Amaris, don't bite me!")
- "Me yes to like it!" (I like whatever it is... ie. milkshake)
- "Mama, good driving!"
- "Close eyes! Close eyes! Close eyes! Look! Me!" (In absolute squealing delight she yells... generally to Mama or Baba something that she really is excited to show us)
- "Mama, delish! Mama, thank you me make me milkshake Mama!" (Mama, this is delish (we sometimes say this instead of delicious)... Thank you for making me my milkshake Mama!)... 7/3/13
- "Look, me all by myself!" (She was reading a math pattern: blue, blue, red)... 7/3/13
