Addie’s rocking the blues with her instrument of choice these days:

At 15 months, Addie’s vocabulary is growing. Some of her favorite words right now are “Stop,” directed to the dogs, and “Nooo” with a upper Midwest elongated vowel sound. (Steve says she must have picked that one up at daycare since she’s NEVER heard it at home.) Even funnier is her constant chatter. She is very serious about whatever she’s saying, and she often accompanies it with a raised eyebrow and a head shake.

Here’s a list of her current words.

Mama
Dada (this is now for dad and dog)
Dede (baby and sometimes bird – tweet tweet)
Buh-bye (often said in a whisper)
Hi
Wha da?(“What’s that?”)
All done
No
Stop (sounds like top)
Yes (Yeh, often accompanied by a vigorous full body nod)
Milk (Mih)
Uh-oh
Wheee! (Swing)
Sooo (shoe)
Knee
Nana (banana)
Down
Cheese
Moon

Animal sounds
Baaa (lamb)
Moo
Woof woof
Neigh
Ooo ooo (monkey)
Meow
Squirrel sound (clicks her tongue)
Whoo (owl)
Tweet tweet (bird)
Roar (bear)

We couldn’t help but share a little video of the newly walking girl as she cruised down the block collecting candy.
