Angelena's Vocabulary...

With Angelena being 18 months old... You would think she would start putting words together... Some words are working for her... But she has this uncanning problem with GRUNTING and talking with her month closed... You see the way she holds her mouth above? This is the postition when hold it when she says YES... or better yet... uhha - meaning yes...
But with her mouth open she talks up a storm...
What she says = what it means
Bo ba = Bottle
Uic = Juice
NO = NO/YES
I Momma= I love momma
dawng = dang
wuv u = love you
De De = her cousin Danni
D'sa = her cousin Dasia
D'rse = her cousin Darius
Gama = Grandma
PaPa = her uncle Papa
NaNa = her aunt Nana
Ball = Ball
PeePee = Pee Pee
Duck = EVERY AND ALL BIRDS
Elmo = Elmo
Fart = Self Explainitory... (THANK YOU FAMILY)
Buggy = Buggers
Dog = Dog
Fuffy = Fluffy
Adios = Good Bye
Nite Nite = Good Night
Hola = Hello
Azul = Blue
Sit = Sit
Bo Bo = Baby Brother
and then of course all her non verbal hand motions and grunts... She points and grunts... Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with her...
Put it like this... I am holding her hand and ask her...
Angelena, do you have mommy wrapped around this finger(pointing at her finger)... her response.. Uhha... then next finger... Uhha... and so on... She know exactly what you are saying to her... She is amazingly smart, but she knows what she can get away with...
Now that we will be in our own place again, things are going to be changing... No more, running away from mommy, no more grunting... Girlfriend... You know what you want... say it~ AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL...
She seems to be needing to to hold her every minute she is awake.. I have no clue where that came from? I walk in the house... She does this little dance, says Hi Momma... and then comes straight to me and DEMANDS TO BE HELD... She will grab my legs, start yelling and screaming, and stomp her feet until I pick her up. Sometimes I try to just hold her hand and tell her to walk with me... But no... She WANTS UP...
So, you see we have some issues to deal with. I just hated to make alot of changes right away, but once we are settled down in our own place, with our own stuff, and our own dog... (YEP HONEY IS COMING HOME), this will change. Just wait...
As for my previous post... Thank you to all the emails and comments. I realize that people in the Adoption world understands and feel the same way about alot of stuff... I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT... WE LUV YA MAN~
