    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!

    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

    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

    Foof = sauce

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

    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.

    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

    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!

    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!

    Haha, so cute!

    DS calls me 'mimi' instead of mummy - no idea why, but he always has.
    For drink he just makes a slurping sound, and for sleep he makes a snoring sound, lol.
    Yogurt is 'gogo'
    He calls my brother (Daniel) 'Doug' - which we like better and have now adopted!

    There's probably heaps more, but I can't think right now.
