language developments

bits : I'm 'Mommy' now, and it has taken me as a nice surprise. I hear 'Mommy Mommy Mommmy' now when she is just sitting across the room and wants to know if I'm listening. She is also using other words I haven't heard before, like 'mad' (Daddy you MAAAAAAD, that not a cookie! for when Daddy pretended to be so hungry he could eat us instead of waiting for a hamburger.), 'cloud', 'what do you know', 'I am so happy', '-ing' forms of words (raining/walking/swimming), using 'am' properly instead of 'I the Esme' or 'I hungry', and the words DANGER and CAREFUL said to us a lot now. She says 'It will be alright', and 'I feel all better/you feel better' and 'we fix, get duct tape and fix' and other things that almost make us laugh. One of her favorite things to do lately is to say 'You are not a *doggie/tiger/dragon*' when we rar at her, or to pretend to bite and then say 'No puppy do not bite me I am not a cookie' or do not blow air at me, I'm not a bubble, do not pet my hair, I'm not a kitty etc etc.. taking all those different qualities of things and relating them to the action and vice-versa. She is paying attention to a lot of different versions of words and trying to repeat them - but not getting it all worked out correctly, yet.

There are also a few things she says that are just WEIRD, but do make sense, if I think hard about it.

'I can't reach this potty, no water' for meaning 'I don't have to pee.'

'That's too far.' for something she doesn't want to do. (was 'too ball' before and I think she just wasn't using all of her sounds).

'POP. That bubble is raining.' describing the small bits of water that mist out of the air when the bubble pops.

'You need another one socks.' for meaning 'You had socks on and now do not, but need some.'

I put flower pattern underwear and a whale pattern shorts and t-shirt on her tonight after her bath and she cries out 'I am the beautiful. I got whales. I am beautiful.' *very cute* She told Daddy as he plays his Minecraft game 'Look, you find your garden. You find your garden. You find your way home. Look, it's morningtime! (he came out of a tunnel into 'sunlight'). And she likes to watch his 'garden' grow in the game - 'look it grow up, grow up!' Every time he walks into a thing of fire she says 'ouch ouch burn butt!', told him to go take a bath and go to sleep when he came to his 'house' in the game and when it is raining on him she said he needed an 'umbrella'.
