From the Mouths of Babes

Otter's been babbling up a storm. Some of it is even been comprehensible... So here is her vocabulary, to date:

Mama - meaning "mama," but also "give me" or "I want"
Papa - meaning "papa"
Nyum-nyum - meaning "hungry" and "good" (as it pertains to food)
Doggie - used to signify dogs and virtually all other animals. On the other hand, often used to identify dog barks, which is quite perceptive.
Night-night - goodbye
Uh-oh - not sure if she knows what this means, but loves to say it, and uses it to ID the "What Does Baby Say?" book that first introduced us to that phrase.
Agua - water (yeah, in Spanish - my child is multi-lingual you see)

That's quite a vocabulary! Isn't it interesting what they choose as their first few words? "Mama" and "Dada" are pretty much expected, but we also hear a lot of "uh-oh," "baby," "me," and "eye." Claire says "hi" and Keira says "bye-bye." (With twins, you can have a division of labor.)
