at 19-months of age, bryn's vocabulary is still somewhat limited. although, the words she DOES know, she certainly says with FORCE.
to date, her go-to words are:
• SHOES - she says this almost every morning with desperation and brings each of us our shoes because she wants to go outside.
• BYE - she says this while waving to dogs/birds/people in the street
• HI - similar to usage of "bye"
• BALL - she likes to point out every ball she sees (especially at the toy store around the corner from our new apartment)
• GRACIAS - she actually uses this correctly when she means to say "thank you".. it's pretty cute.
• NO - she says this a lot because she is actually QUITE independent
• MAMA - maybe it's my pregnancy hormones, but she usually says my name with distress and wants to be carried after she says "mama"
• BABY - she points to all babies in the street and says "BABY". also, she refers to her dolly as "baby." compared to bailey, she's actually MUCH more interested in dolls and babies. let's hope this trend continues post-arrival of baby boy lillvis.
• LALA - ok, this isn't a real word... but this is what she says when she wants water. i think because she's trying to say AGUA.
other TOTALLY random words she says (with less force and with less frequency):
• APPLESEEDS (a nearby playspace we just got a membership to)
• JORGE (our nanny's boyfriend)
• MOJO JOJO (the villain from the powerpuff girls)... apparently as of this morning, she also says "buttercup" - another powerpuff girl
addendum: i keep forgetting a lot of other words brynny knows. bailey keeps saying, "add that to the list."... so here goes... she can also say SIT, CHEESE, PLEASE, EYE, STUCK (sounds like DUCK), DADDY, SHH and i'm sure i'm forgetting others. but have no fear. bailey will remind me to add it to the list.
