Abbyisms

It's been my habit over the last few years to keep a record of cute little things that Aspen has said as her language has developed. We call these uniquely her phrases and statements her "Aspenisms". You can read more about these adorable moments here and here.

Now that Abby is beginning to really blossom verbally, I want to do the same with her. So, without further ado, here is our first list of "Abbyisms".

Her current list of words includes: mom, mama, dad, dada, and hi. She will try to say almost anything we coach her in and often gets syllable counts and general sounds right.

Her first round of unique Abbyisms includes the following:

"hey dad" Abby adores her Daddy. When he comes in the door she says "hey dad" and holds up her arms to be picked up. It's so cute.

"kit-taaaay" Abby's version of kitty and cat rolled into one.

"nye nye" Night-night, or "Mommy, I want to nurse and fall asleep in your arms please."

"ten" The word is very clear but we're not sure what she means by it.

"have dat" "Have that" which she says when she wants something we have or wants to give us an object. This is a rare one but when she comes out with it, it's priceless.

Stay tuned for more adorable "isms" to come from both girls.
