Baby girl is adding to her vocabulary.  Currently, anything that is alive and not a person is a “doggie”. Everything else is “nana”. She also calls me “momma” (which is alright with me).  She has been know to say “poppa” on occasion, but a lot of the time he is “momma”, too.

Recently, she added another word (I was trying to figure out if it is a noun, pronoun, proper noun, etc….if, after you read this, you know please tell me…this especially applies to my father-in-law, the former high school english teacher).

She was getting into some frames with photos in them that I have been meaning to hang up on the wall (for months).  I took the frame from her and said, “That’s your big brother at his first Christmas.”

She replied, “Bo-bo.”

I said, “Yes, that’s your big brother.”

Again, she said, “Bo-bo.”

Sounds like the little guy just got a new nickname.

home is…an expanding vocabulary and sibling nicknames.

*My little sister couldn’t say Stephany, but could say “Ne-ne”, so that was the beginning of my sibling nicknames (which evolved throughout the years).  Did your sibling have a nickname for you?  If so, what was it?  Did it change throughout the years?  Do they still call you by your nickname?
