Kellie is hard, but I will try to type what she says:

Fristin= Christian (hard to explain but Christian's name is mumbled by her and sounds wierd)
kay= okay
uh mam= yes ma'am
ice= Sprite
po-po= Kaipo (our dog)
pa-eee= potty

many other she says words but they are hard to put in black on white.

JAYMESMOM replied: Niklas Jays--for Nicholas James her brother

Ne-Ne---Bethany her aunt

Dabid--for David

chuch--for church

my2monkeyboys replied: Will can say most anything, but he does still have a hard time with double-letter sounds, especially SP and GR. Like Spiderman is Fiderman, special is fecial, Gramma is Bramma. Not sure if this is something to worry about or not, but I haven't so far. Hopefully with a little encouragement from me it'll work itself out.

ediep replied: Jason still can't say the TH sound.

for Three he says free
for bath he says bass

and for yellow he says lellow

AlexsPajamaMama replied: Goggy is Dog

Pimmy used to be Kimmy (DHs step sister)
but he was saying right this past weekend

Wob is Rob (DHs brother)

Kank You is Thank You

Luh You is Love You

Gweg is Greg (Daddys name)

Candles is Sandles
When I got him new sandles he was saying they were his "New brand candles" instead of Brand new sandles!!!

MyLuvBugs replied: Oh gosh....most of the things she says aren't correct yet. lol

Thank you = Tank You
Diaper = Berper
Kitty = Titty (Yeah that one is nice to hear when you're walking through a store )
More = Moe
Book = Boo (it's confusing b/c she plays peekaboo and says Boo right in that situation)
Puppy = Puppa
Up = Upa

It'd be a shorter list if it was words she could say correctly. lol

Kaitlin'smom replied: the only one she does backwards is Pooh Winnie, instead of Winnie the Pooh. I think its cute. Its the only one I can think of.

JP&KJMOM replied: Karlee only has a couple

Sunny for Sunday

B - nanas for bananas

JP says Fruity Juice for Juicy fruit gum. He knows the right way but has always said it like that and it stuck. We all say that.

DVFlyer replied: Where do I start...... Chloe's vocabulary seems to be expanding so fast, but it's funny listening to some of "her" words. I call them Chloe-ism's.

Catapiller (her first big word) = Pahhliller

Love you= Wa-Wa

She calls me mumma

asweetnectarwomb replied: my baby hannah's funniest is

Happy = Heavy

When she sings Barney's song instead of saying "we're a happy family" she said "we're a heavy family"...

PrairieMom replied: We have a hard time with v sounds here. I use a backume to clean the floor!

DVFlyer replied: This reminds me of when Josie (old member here) was writing about her daughter telling her she was a "Good girl at school", but Josie wrote it like she said it:

"Dud dirl at stool" (or something like that)

It was so funny, I was laughing out loud.

My3LilMonkeys replied: Brooke is pretty understandable to me, but she replaces letters with b's a lot.

Love - bove
Grandma - bama
Grandpa - bampa
Spongebob - Pongebob


The funniest one is our cat's name is Riddles, but Brooke couldn't pronounce it when she first started talking so she calls her Boo.
