We Can't Get a Word in Edge Wise



As I've mentioned before, Ava is quite the talker. She has advanced to more complex phrases that are really cracking us up now. Here is a sampling, although you must imagine her voice and the tone of a demanding but inquisitive toddler, maybe even shaking her finger or twisting up her nose with a grin.

"Coffee not for babies, no cry Pablo, sit down baby, Mama no singing, hi morning, hot no touch, more more crackers, more more cheese, no more monkey, hi girls - hi friends, Pablo down, baby shopping, my turn - my turn, my Mommy - mine, bye-bye goats, tiny baby, no spicy, no meat, tickle tickle star - up above sky, hold it, Mommy's flowers, alrighty, nite-nite Daddy, bath time Ava, jacket off, Daddy big shoes, Mama cooking, no scary, Mama's here, wet outside, all better, no dumping, hi guys, where are you shoes, I trade you, watch window - garbage truck" ... and soooo many others I'm forgetting now.

It's funny because she actually enunciates her words very well, except one. She calls all berries "gobbies".

She's quite good with saying names too ... this is her little circle of people and pets that she talks about. Ava, Tyler, Carmen, Lea, Elijah, LeighAnn, Ruby, Pablo, Jamie, Charlotte, Pickles, Eddie, Stella, Owen, Jane, Primo.

UPDATE: I sneezed yesterday and Ava actually responded, "bless you Mommy", quite to my surprise.
