Conversations with Hannah

I've done a poor job of keeping any kind of notes or records about Hannah's language development.  I know some moms keep lists of their toddler's vocabulary or new words learned at certain ages, but I missed that boat!  Hannah's list is too long to try to put together now.  However, in just the past couple weeks, she has started the amazing feat of putting 2-4 words together to create fragmented phrases.  It's been so fun to be even more conversational with her!  Now, of course, without T or I there to translate, your conversation with her might be a bit limited, but we're quite proud nonetheless!  :)  Here are some recent and often repeated phrases...

(upon entering her room in the morning)
"Da-da ee-ee.  Daddy?  Bye?  Mommy Hah-hu home pway."
Translated "My diaper is icky.  Is daddy already gone?  Mommy and Hannah stay home and play."

(talking on her toy cell phone)

He-wo.  Pawk brrrr.  

Translated "Hello.  It's too cold for the park."

(after looking out the window to see T home from work, but visiting with a friend)

Daddy!  Daddy home!  Daddy Hah-hu pway!  Oh, daddy tawk moor."

Translated "Daddy is home!  Now daddy and Hannah can play!  Oh, but daddy is talking more."

(when I tell her it's time to get ready to go somewhere)

"Brrr...Toat, doos, hat, goves.  Ba-ba, baby?"

Translated "It's cold outside.  I need to wear my coat, shoes, hat, and gloves.  Can I take my blankie or baby?

And then there are many more two word phrases...

"Mmm-mmm cheese"  ("I want to eat cheese")

"Djo-Djo pway" ("I want to play with my friend, Josie")

"Moor peese"  ("More, please")

"Tee-tee book" or "Choo-choo book" or "Tuck book" ("Teeny book, train book, or Chuck book" depending on which one she prefers) 

"Mi-mi Tee-dee" ("Monkey TV", a.k.a Curious George)

So, anyway, it's been super fun to observe her learning, and I'm confident that helping verbs and complete sentences are only a week or two away.  :)
