Talking up a Storm

I keep amazing Momma and Daddy with my growing vocabulary.  I learn lots of words at home and at school.  Even some phrases- my favorite being “I got it!”  Here are some words I’ve been throwing around the past couple of months:

waffle                 puppy            water              monkey
tofu                     turtle             beans              boots
cereal                 flowers          pizza                knock knock
apple juice        bath               boots               blankie
cracker               shower         shirt                 stuck
cookie                 towel            jeans                snow
coat                    mess              feet                  cold
toes                    owl                mouth              car
eyes                   colors            off                     outside
ear                     blocks           back                  book
couch                gate               goat                  shovel
chair                 frog                shark                dark
picture             yummy          stroller             bottle

And I’ve been starting to combine some of my words to make short sentences.  This helps me communicate to others what is mine and what I will allow them to have.  And also, to order Momma around.  For instance,

“Momma all done.” When she’s laying in bed but it’s time to get up, or when she’s been doing something besides paying attention to me.  Momma does not like this phrase.
“Momma cook.” When I’m hungry- also not a favorite.
“Daddy shovel” after the snow.
“Daddy’s shoes, Momma’s shoes, Liza’s shoes” so they understand not to wear my pink shoes.
“I got it!” and “I did it!” are useful for bringing attention to my toddler skills.
“Momma sit.” to get her to sit at my table and play blocks with me.
“Thank you Momma/Daddy” which earns me big time points.

Quite the Linguist

I’ve been working on my vocabulary a lot lately.  If you want to have a two-way conversation with me, it’s best that you ask me questions that I can answer with one of the following words:

ball
bubble
more, more
kitty
cheese
daddy
fish
mama

Or, I can do animal impressions for you.

woof
quack quack
moo
baaa
oo oo
woo hoo

Woo hoo is horse, silly.
