Lilo chatter

As Lilo begins to talk more and more, some of the stuff that comes out of her mouth is really quite funny. She's communicating pretty well these days - unfortunately a lot of it is in a special "Lilo-ese" that, while we've gotten better at understanding, would cause most people to shake their heads.

Some of her favourite phrases:

“Watch, mama, watch” – before she does something neat – like jump off the 3rd step.
“Mommy, air var you?” (where are you?) – even if I’m in the room with her
“Mommy, whatchu doing?” – always wanting to know what you are doing
“Around and around” – when she looks at the ceiling fan, or twirls in her dresses.
“Up high” – means anything higher than she is right now – a plane in the sky, something on the book shelf, or even something upstairs like her blankets in her bedroom. She also uses this when she wants to be picked up.
“mmm, broccoli, nummy broccoli. Mmm, onions, nummy onions” – when she is looking at our garden, I guess all the vegetables are yummy. And no she doesn’t eat onions.
“Tip toe, tip toe” – as she tip toes down the hall when Isla is still sleeping. Of course her whisper of tip toe is pretty loud.
“Giggie” – is what she calls her blankies. She can say blanket but for some reason wants to call them giggies.
“I don know” (I don’t know) – and she puts her hands in the air.
“Soccer ball” – This doesn't refer just to the ball, but tha actual sport - just like how every other sport has a "-ball" at the end - basketball, baseball, football.
“I did it” she is very proud of herself.
"Suse me" - means excuse me - which she says after she burps.
“dank you” I’m proud to say we have a very polite little girl.
