Lily-speak

Daddy, when you're feeling frustrated and you just can't understand her, here is a short dictionary of Lily-speak at 2 years old:

ba=bye

boop=book (pronounced as the double oo in book)

boop=poop (same as above)

bup=cup

bop=stop

bo=spoon

bip=chip

da=done

da=down

na=no

ni=milk

mo=more

peas=please

mam=Sam

JoJo=Joey

LaLa=Lily

me=ME! Oh yeah, she's got that one down.

Now, some people are surprised that I can understand Lily (Daddy included). I simply don't get that at all. I mean, how can you not understand:

"na ni mo bip?"

(You cheated Rob, you looked at the key above.)

OR my personal favorite:

"da boop" ("done pooping," or if you have the contextual clues--i.e. book-in-hand--"done with the book")

I would say the past 9 months of speech therapy have been totally worth it...wouldn't you?
