Hattie's Words

While I'm waiting to load the pictures from our Cape Cod trip onto the computer, I thought I'd clean up the blog page a bit. Hattie's word list has gotten very long and she is becoming an expert at communicating. I want to save all of her little words in a post so that I can delete the list on the side. I also need to add a few new phrases. These are Hattie's current favorite phrases:

"ana sound???" which means "what's that sound?" She says it at least 10 times an hour. The tiniest creak of the house, the neighbor's tool in the garage, an airplane flying overhead, a dish clanking in the kitchen, really, anything will draw it out from her. She wants to know exactly what is making every sound she hears and it's not good enough to say "I don't know", or "it's just Daddy" or something. You have to be specific in your description. It has gotten tiring, but it is very cute.

"di dis come from???" which means, "where did this come from?" Anything that isn't immediately familiar to her, or something significant that might be out of place in the house draws out this question.

"sim" or "simming" for Swimming. Hattie likes "a sim in a ocean" and " a sim in a pool"

"bye bye ocean" this is what she said as we were heading back to the beach house after putting our toes in the ocean for the final time on our trip.

"nigh nigh tape tod" this is what she said every night as she went to bed on our trip. Brought on by reading the book "Good Night Cape Cod" which was given to us by our friends the day we arrived at their beach house.

"ana go Sean's house, moon bOUnce" cousin Sean in Salt Lake has a moon bounce. Hattie wishes she lived at Sean's house in the moon bounce.

Ok, here's the rest of the list; Hattie's words from early to mid 2008:
