This will not be at all interesting except to the various family members who read this blog, but here are the words our daughter uses in approximate order of when she started using them:

tee, or kee (kitty); a later addition is “cat,” pronounced “cot”
dada or dadee
hi
hey (barely distinguishable from hi)
bye bye (pronounced baba, wave optional)
tsee? (all-purpose interrogative, used while pointing somewhere)
uh oh (more like ah oh)
teeth (with or without with “th” at the end, used in context of brushing them)
and my favorite:
gakaka (graham cracker)

she can also make a variety of animal sounds including moo, baa, and kak kak (what a duck says).

    I’m wondering where the “mama” is on this list, or the inflected “mamala”? ;-)

  2. 2 Luke

    I love gakaka. Really, y’all should record that one.

  3. 3 Katieg

    I was wondering about the mom word too!

    My daughter has been adding some words to her vocabulary. Her two favortites are “it’s not fair” and “this is boring.” The joys of a 6 1/2 year old!!
