Our twenty month old grandaughter has inspired me to kick the blog back into life following very unscientific observation. Her favourite words in roughly declining order of use include:
Mummy, Daddy
No!
More - as in food
Mine - as in lots of things
Biccy
toast
Ta
Uh, oh! - I/you have dropped something
Yay! - Mum is to blame for this one
Look at that! - and this one!
Up, down
Maccapacca, Daisy - if you don't know those you are watching the wrong TV progs
Worta, worta - as in the drink, the sea or a swimming pool
Car, boat, 'plane
Jump, splash
Oc, oc - get me out of this whatever, but quickly
Nanny, Aggi - the latter refers to me, Gramps!
Animals are a separate category:
dickit - chicken as in wild ones in Hawaii
turtle, turtle
pocock - i.e. peacock
doggie
birdy
cat
fish
lizard
She obviously has a keen intellect, is well travelled and has a strong sense of what is good for her.

Blimey, how did you remember so many of her words? We can barely think of any to add!
aha so that's where I get my fascination with the funny things kids say - I'm always mimicing Adam's girls - my fave one was Kati's word for breakfast, "beffdust" :-)
so I was wondering - did she make up Aggi or is that Welsh? either way I think it's great
