    Awww these are just so cute! I cant wait until DD starts to talk.

    My older sister was funny, she called kangaroos "gickyroos" and an ambulance was an "avalanche"

    My nephew couldn't pronounce my name when he was a little tacker. Instead of Danielle he'd call me D'ell. 11 years later I'm still D'ell to my whole family!

    Nawww, these are all so cute!

    DD is 17 months and has lots of cute words, I'll miss them when she learns to say them properly LOL!

    Wo-Wo = Yoghurt
    Diddie = Birdie
    Nake = Snake (I learned this one today when she said "Mum, nake!" and pointed to a dried out worm )
    Lblblb (imagine poking your tongue in and out making an "L" sound l) = Lolly

    we have a few words that DS says properly but there are a couple that make me laugh.

    bi - spider. i have no idea why though - took me ages to work out what he was talking about
    he calls me mum, but for some reason calls DP by his first name his name does start with 'da' though so maybe that's why it's become confused? luckily he's stopped saying it in the whiny tone i use when annoyed with DP. that was getting embarrassing!

    my DS loves apricots - fresh or semi-dried ones but they're called "cots" just so you all know

    I was 12 when my youngest brother was born, he used to call grapes "peeps". To this day I still call grapes "peeps".
