Chatty Piper


Each and every Sunday when we pick Piper up from her nursery class, the teachers comment on all the words that she knows. To us, it seems pretty normal as Caleb was really verbal at this age, but evidently she may be a bit chattier than the normal 17 month old. Here is a list, to the best of my ability to recollect, of all the words that Piper says:
Mama
Daddy
Caleb
Piper (she does recognize herself and says her name all the time!)
Mommaw
Poppaw
Puppy
Cow
Cat
Eat
Yes
No
Light
Yay
Whoa
Wee
Beep
Elmo (her fav!)
Pretty
Night Night
Please
Thank you
Bite
Out
Up
Ball
Button
Flower
Snowman
Tree (she has spent the past few months calling trees "doop", but has very recently started saying the real word when prompted)
Bow
Hi
Bye bye
Go
Mine (guess who she learned that one from?)
Book
Read
Bird
Purse
Uh oh
Bath
Potty
Poopy
Wet (notice a theme here? maybe it's time to potty train?)

She's even started stringing words together:
Don't cry (when holding her baby)
A __________ (fill in the blank, very often light)
Bite please
Yes please
All done (with the adorable hand motions that go with it)

Piper still does have her own language that she converses with others her age with, but those are the words that we understand. She tends to add to them daily, so I'm sure I'll have to update this list sometime soon!
