    Gotta love toddler speak!

    DD is into the copy cat stage and tries to repeat everything I say. Which is often very funny and if I wasn't her mum would have no idea what she was trying to say!

    A few of her recent ones:
    ackoo - thankyou
    ****pa - pizza
    bisbits - biscuits
    foofly - butterfly
    bmm bmm - balloon
    mo - milk

    Share your toddler's funny words!

    Jack has a few words that he will babble out... some that he'll look at me and say in a very serious and matter-of-fact tone...

    ... I am yet to work out what any of them mean.

    I'm such a bad mum

    love the Pizza one!!!

    Oskar used to call a whipper snipper a Pippy Papper... it's now a Swip lol.

    Elijah is yet to speak anything coherant other than sounds or grunts and points lol. He does "speak" in his own way but no actual words.

    Foof = sauce

    It sounds so cute we now all call sauce 'foof' - probably doesn't help!

    My nephew says 'bibbi' for beep beep, Bindi (his aunt) and just in general to get our attention

    His baby brother, 11 months, says 'ack' for Jack, when he's talking to him

    haha these are great!

    Thought of a couple more.
    "Faff" is giraffe (she has a little stuffed giraffe that she takes to bed and calls him Faff. Very cute! Took me a while to work out what she was trying to say though!).
    Bubba is spider or zebra..go figure!
    ssssss means snake. She freaked me out a week ago, sitting at the table eating lunch and she kept looking out the door going "ssssss", I didn't know if there was a snake out there or if she'd just decided to make the noise!
    If she, or someone else sneezes she goes "ahhhh" and then scrunches her nose up and makes a blowing noise out of it which is so funny. I say ahhchoo" to her all the time just so she does it

    My mum is still trying to work out what "Beel wheel" and "stemmo" mean, from when I was two

    Otherwise, my brothers and I were boring - just the usual "fruck" instead of truck, etc

    Sent from my iPhone so forgive the speelung misstacks

    DD does "Dan, Dan, Dan" while stomping her feet. Her father started that once by putting her in the tray of the 1 tonne work ute and saying "a dance, dance, dance". She thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread.
    Bread is "bear"
    and she'll say "GO GO GO!" and jump in the pool! At least she gives us warning but as to giving us time to catch her.... Scares the hell out of me.
    MMMMM is she wants to give you a kiss and it'll end with a huge AH when she connects with your cheek/hand/anywhere she can reach
    When I ask her where something is she'll say "Hmmmm, Ummm" with a really thoughtful tone while looking for the object
    Car is just car, boring but it's a word she nailed first time she tried! Proud of that one!
    Night night is "Bye-ni" followed by movie star style kiss blowing with lots of enthusiasm!

    I know there is more but feeling too wiped mentally to try remember right now!

    DD generally talks pretty well, but there's the odd funny one.

    She says Oli oli gog gog for water! She started off saying gogli gogli, I suspect like the sound it makes inside your head when you gulp, but my husband mis- understood her and though she was saying oli oli dog dog which is something they talk about on an itng cd... So it became oli oli gog gog she says milk for cows milk but boobie milk is mo mo and it comes from boo-boos. For some reason she says everything twice!

    ds2 still has trouble with quiet a few words, he tries to say things to fast, and without thinking, ends up replacing most of the first letters with d.. he counts and it gose, un, too, dee, dour, dive, dix, deven, date, dine. if he thinks about it, they all come out right but four is still dour.
    ds1 started (and still dose) calling dan murphys and well any alcohol shop "the jim/gym bean shop" after going there twice with df to get some jim beam, now thats what there all called, 3 years on.
    when i was little, apparently the slide at the park was a "slipry d ick" mum dont let me forget it either it took her over a year to work out what my sister was on about, every few nights she would randomly yell out "goon-gong" turned out it was cokaroach.

    my little monkey isn't a big talker yet but i can't wait for his vocab to expand.

    the 30 or so words he says are all quite clear... the only cute example i can think of is "tuh" for "shoe"...
    he was walking around with his dad's shoes on saying "daddy tuh".... melts my heart!

    Oh he says 'soss' for sauce.

    Lots of his early words revolved around food and drink.
