Words

Lu has been growing in leaps and bounds. Part of that means being funny and curious. Part of that means getting upset and refusing to go bed for me. And another amazing part of Lu growing up are all of her connections, words, ideas and problem solving.

She understands SO much including that her mittens go in the basket by the door.

I was thinking about her words tonight and marveling at both their central place in her life and their randomness.

Here's the list:

cracker
graham cracker
spoon
yogurt (of the soy variety)
bagel
baby
eyes
nuk
nose
bottle
teeth
phone
book
ball (that's a particular favorite right now)
mama
Hi
Bye
quack
Duck
"Melmo" (Elmo)
Meow
Car (what you drive)
Caw-Caw (what you and your buddy drive in Boston OR what a crow says...)
sock
bubbles
Reva (kids at daycare)
Liam
Jackie

And lots of other words that may be in another language. As soon as we've translated them - I'll let you know what she's saying.
