\nThis is the face you get when you ask Ezri to “say cheese.”<\/p>\n

I thought I would mention some things she says now that I know I’ll miss as she grows out of them.<\/p>\n

I liked “nani” for banana, but it has become “nana” and I’m sure will be “banana” some enough.<\/p>\n

I smile every time she points at the fridge and says, “maggots!” She is just ready to play with her magnets. I do not keep maggots in the fridge.<\/p>\n

I like the phrase “inga inga” which still appears when she really wants you to put something in her fingers and was early Ezri-speak for fingers. She can say finger now, but still says “inga inga” as she reaches towards a highly desired item (play dough, cookie, somesuch).<\/p>\n

She still says all Vs as Ws. “Womit” is the most commonly spoken word.
\nVrroom in Ezri-speak is “Wuh-rooom.”<\/p>\n

She currently refers to herself in third person.
\nEzri pasta. = I would like pasta.
\nEzri stroller walk. = Take me out in the stroller please.
\nShe will learn the word “I,” but it is very fun to have her sliding at the park saying, “Ezri slide. Weeeee!”<\/p>\n

Her talking is also helping us predict and often deflect her bad ideas.
\nWhile running down a path at the Wildlife Center she said, “Ezri swim pond,” and I knew I needed to get in front of her before she got to the pond.<\/p>\n

Often these bad ideas involve the cats. Ezri holding her brush and saying, “Ezri brush Sushi.” A nice idea that would probably involve
\nwhacking the cat in the face with a brush. And might be followed by her saying the phrase, “Sushi scratch.”
\nSushi is very good with the toddler, but sometimes when pushed she defends herself.
\nWhen she said, “Ezri bring Sushi.” I knew she was going to try to pick-up the cat.<\/p>\n

When she said, “Ezri lick dada pants,” it let us know she was interested in licking Eric’s pants and that it was time to explain to her that licking others and their clothing is not acceptable.<\/p>\n

She also uses “nipples” for bra which led to a cute moment of her running towards the underwear section of Target yelling “nipples!” It’s a fun word to say.<\/p>\n

Hearing her speak her mind is a wonderful thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
