M's growing vocabulary...

So, if you have been on this blog long enough, you know M is quite the talker (or rather, at this stage the blabber-er)! From the beginning, she has not shown much interest in picking up individual words - she guns for the complicated sentence and stanza right-away. It is hilarious because you can have an entire conversation with her (with her doing most of the talking) and not a single word will be recognizable - though I must admit the blabbering is very emotive :D. Because of this very reason, I am sure she will start talking in a full-fledged manner much later than what everybody around has been predicting, including her doctor, who goes gaga over her highness's vocalization!

However, there are a few marked identifiable words that are forming her growing vocabulary. The way she pronounces them cracks us up million times a day. Here's an indicative list:

• bei bei (always accompanied by the wave of the hand and is her version of bye-bye - pretty close to the intended)
• haiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (her hi's are always always in hyperbole - it's never just a hi it is a haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii)
• baby (this one's absolutely clear - but who is a baby - any child upto the age of say 13 or 14, and any person in a poster! She called a smiling lady in the ice cream joint poster a baby!)
• daw (that one's for dog)
• duuh (not duuh but duck)
• bitch (yes, you can do a rotfl on this one. We were shocked the first time she said it - but she means bus!)
• bishh (that's the fish)
• bow bow (that's for the dog again)
• beetee (the Beatles poster near the stair way - sometimes she gets confused and calls other posters/photographs with lots of people in it as also beetee)
• no no (that's is No - it is always accompanied by her finger movement and is always said in sets of two - no-no.)
• yaa (yes, but I don't think she always uses it in context. In the middle of nowhere, she'll start saying ya ya!)
• more (she says more for milk and water and then promptly changes her mind)
• otter (that's water)
• daayddy (daddy!)
• mimmi, amma (that's for me, and I dont like how she says amma - it's like a-mmmaaaaaaa. I have told her I am mummy or mommy - nothing else.)
• dappuh (not dapper really, but her diaper!)
• Kaaoh (That's car! beats me why she brings in the o syllable when she can stop at kaah!)
• Tuhh (Truck)
• tahtuh (Tractor)
• aaahhppppill (apple)
• aaahhppy (Happy)
• muhmuh (cow)
• ba-ba (sheep, lamb)
• haawt (hot)
• nana, mama, anna, thatha - she says them all but we are yet to ascertain if it is to the right people!
• appuh (that's not appa or apu (sorry, Aps) - it is hippo!)
• cheeeee (cheese, ofcourse!)

I think that's just about all that I can think of. Me says, toddler hood is looking to be very very amusing. What say you?
