Anna has become a real chatterbox. She's constantly trying to communicate with us & is always pointing out & identifying things she knows. Her words aren't always immediately understandable. Though, Traci & I pretty much have them down. While there are a few cognates (says the foreign language nerd), anyone else who might be around Anna would likely find a lesson in Anna-ese helpful.
A first lesson in Anna-ese
ba = ball
ba = blanket
baby = baby
bee-bee = beep-beep
boot = boot
bye = bye
ca = car (as in, the "ca" says "bee-bee")
'cado = avocado (a favorite food)
cheessssssse = cheese (lots of emphasis on the esses)
da = dad
da = dog
da = diaper
da = done
da = down (The context clues when using "da" are critical.)
kee-ka = kitty kat
ma = mama
no = no
No!No!No! = No thank you . I'd rather not.
NOOOOOOOOO! = HELL NO! Are you crazy?!? Get that broccoli away from me!
pea = pea (another favorite food)
poo = poo (as in, there's a "poo" in my "da")
poo = Pooh (as in, "Winnie the")
'poon = spoon
sssslthsl = slipper (watch out for the spit when she says this one)

vee = Eve (our dog)
VEE! = EVE!! (mostly reserved for when "vee" is laying on her "ba")
vee-vee = Evie (more affection than just "vee". Usually accompanied by petting.)
