Nora
Nora's Vocabulary (newest to oldest)
- April '10: Finger (Realized she knew this word when she kept repeating it loudly during a stroll yesterday; turned out her thumb was stuck in part of the stroller's seatbelt assembly. Here I am walking along, absently repeating, "Finger. Yup. You've got ten fingers, alright" before I finally realize she's trying to direct our attention to a dire finger-related emergency. All ended well, and she still has ten fingers.)
- April '10: "STOP!" "ENOUGH!" and "MOVE!" (We're all starting to realize what a mimic Nora is becoming, even when we would perhaps wish she wasn't; these words come from the sittter's house, where they are directed-- exclusively, I think-- at the dog. )
- April '10: I love you (Pronounced "ahFOWah." Perhaps you suspect I am jumping the gun on this one because I am so eager to hear this, but I swear-- every time we say "I love you" to Nora, she responds dutifully with "Afowah!" I'll interpret it however I want, thank-you-very-much.)
- April '10: Airplane (emphasis squarely on the second syllable. This word is always accompanied by much excitement and pointing.)
- April '10: Okay (Pronounced "Eekee." This is my favorite word right now, as it actually represents acquiescence! I'll be trying to put Nora's shoes on, and every time I sit her down she scrambles up and crawls away. Then finally, after setting her on her heinie for the fifth time, she says "Eekee, Mama," and patiently holds out her foot to be shod.
- March '10: Apple (This term encompasses both apples and oranges, which, to Nora, are not so different after all.)
- March '10: Good Boy (Pronounced "GaBOOey")
- March '10: Boy
- March '10: Choo-choo
- March '10: Owl
- March '10: Water
- March '10: Funny (She uses it interchangeably with "Fun," but she does know what it means to be funny-- and she'll tell us, in case we don't realize it, that she's being funny)
- March '10: Sky
- March '10: Moon
- March 20, 2010: Flower (Just in time for the first day of Spring!)

- March 17, 2010: Nora (Finally, finally! Pronounced "NNNNO-wa!")
- March '10: Gussy, Ollie (Her two little boyfriends across the street. She's been saying "Sussy" for awhile, but yesterday she pronounced both their names as clearly as a schoolmarm.)
- March '10: Color (Pronounced "Golooo"; this one took me quite a while to figure out this morning. Turns out she desperately wanted the red pen on the kitchen counter.)
- March '10: Owwee (as in a cut or a bruise; sorry you had to learn that word, kiddo)

- Feb '10: Tickle (Pronounced "Tico," which is apparently also the name of Dora the Explorer's pet squirrel or something, so we may be misinterpreting but I don't think so.)
- Feb '10: Dolly (Pronounced "Lolly"-- my mom's trying to co-opt this one as her nickname, too. First banana, then dolly. What's next, Grandma Washing Machine?)

- Feb '10: Sleepy
- Feb '10: Go? (She's been saying "go" for several months, but now it seems to mean "Give it to me"-- as in "Here you go," which I often say when I give her something. This is toddler etymology; don't overthink it.
