Word progressions
It seems like Amelia’s constantly pronouncing words more correctly these days, which is somewhat bittersweet. It’s great that she’s learning and getting better at communicating. But of course, bad pronunciation is way cuter.
A few word progressions:
GRANDPA
At first she said “Papa” and we had to puzzle out if she meant her grandpa or her dad. Eventually it changed to “pee-pa.” And now she says “gwan-pa” which is as good as it’ll get until she can say Rs.
YELLOW
At first it was “wuh-wuh.” Then “wuh-woh” and “ye-woh.” And now “yeLLow.” As in, she figured out the Ls and hits them comically hard.
CHRISTMAS
We told a lot of people about how she said Christmas. For a couple of months, she was constantly saying “Tippets.” She has already changed it to “Crippets.” We though tippets sounded like a pretty serious disease, but crippets sounds like something that would kill you for sure.
There are a ton more words like this, some of which I wouldn’t even know how to spell phonetically. Like the way she says “Pinocchio.” Is it wrong to ask her to say some things just so we can get a good chuckle?
