Hana's vocabulary...

she has just taken off with talking the last few days. It is so fun to watch her learning how to use words and the look on her face when she realizes that we understand her. This week she is also gaining a lot of Japanese for some reason. She is so fun, she says stuff like using various nouns other than these examples...

bow-wow otta (A dog is there) mix of English and Japanese
wabeewee atta (there is a strawberry) also a mix
poopoo detta (poopoo came out) also a mix
gummy peaz da (can I please have a gummy) the "da" is the Japanese "to be" verb, she puts it on the end of lots of her sentences.

and she is putting "a" in front of everything

a mama
a dada
a baby (when she sees pictures of herself)
a bear (with a very strong Texas accent)

She knows eyes, ears, nose, mouth (also knows mouth in french from one of her DVD's). She very clearly points them out by almost poking her own or your eyes out, or sticking her fingers up her own or your nose, and by forcing her fingers into your mouth.

I did it (this one shocked me today when she said it)
oishi wabeewee (delicious strawberry) by the way wabeewee is English!

These are just a few of the things I pick up throughout the day. The things she is doing are too funny too.

1. She has learned to spin around in circles and she will get dizzy. It is so funny to watch, she thinks it is hillarious.
2. She loves to draw and write these days.
3. She loves to get the broom and run it around the floor for me.
4. She could stand on a chair at the sink and pretend to wash dishes for hours, soaking the front her clothes and the rug beneath and drinking half of her pretend dish water along the way.
5. She finds a bag, puts it over her shoulder and comes to tell me bye-bye then heads for the front door. I ask her if she is going shopping and she says "yea"
6. She gathers up her baby dolls and finds some towels and her blanket and lines them all up and covers them up. She will pick one up and rock it, pat it on the back them put it back down. She also pretends to give them drinks. If she finds one of her diapers, she will insist that I take off the baby dolls' clothes so she can pretend to change their diapers. It is too sweet to watch her caring for her babies so tenderly.
7. All bow-wows are spotted immediately and loudly proclaimed. And when we drive past any place where she has seen a bow-wow before, she loudly proclaims it!

She's a mess and so much fun!
