Emeree's word list

I made a list of the words Ethan was speaking when he was about 18 months, so I guess I should be a good documentor and list Emeree's at the same age.

She's speaking a lot more than Ethan was at this age, and I think it has to do with being the 2nd child...she copies him and us a lot.  She'll copy almost any word we try to get her to say, but I'm only listing the words that she says on her own.

People
Mom
Dad
Dampa - that's for Grandma and Grandpa (Ethan says it that way so she copied the weird word from him)
Lorelai
Zach - Ethan's buddy from nursery and play dates
We've gotten her to say Emma and Ethan a couple times but she doesn't say them much on her own
Ehmo - Elmo
George - when she wants to watch Curious George

Food
Mik - for "milk" although I have a hard time between that and her word oak for "coat" they sound a lot the same sometimes and she gets mad if I give her the wrong one when she's asking for the other.
hot dog
chip
juice
ter - water
cheese
ceal - cereal
a-nah - banana
apple
ret - carrot

Animals
dog
woof - she usually just makes barking noises when she sees a dog instead of saying "dog"
meow - when she sees a cat

Body/clothes
head - usually pats her head and says the word over and over after she bonks it on the table since she refuses to accept that she is taller than the table and should be ducking when she walks under it
teef - when she wants to brush her teeth
hat
eye
nosh - her version of "nose"
ear
shoe
awk - sock
shirt
chin - I know, kindof a weird one for her age
boot
I-per - diaper

Random
heyo-o - this is "hello" when she carries around one of my old cell phones pressed to her ear
shovel
banka - "blanket"
right dere - saying "right there" and pointing when I ask where her pacifier went
book
a-yar - pacifier
star - i use a star cookie cutter to cut shapes out of her bread for breakfast.  she won't eat toast and won't eat bread good if I don't use a cookie cutter
raw - straw
no
mine
hep - help
boo - likes to hide and scare daddy
up - when she wants out of her high chair
done - when she doesn't want her milk anymore and throws it on the floor at the same time with no warning - so she will be on sippy cups for a while to come


I know she says a few more, but I can't think of them right now.
