She Learned It From a Monkey

Cora's vocabulary is really expanding as of late.  She is a jabber mouth even though most conversations sound like gibberish . . . at least to me.  There is no doubt Cora knows what she is saying!  Cora's newly expanded list of words includes

• more
• cracker
• uh-oh
• dada
• mama
• please (sounds like "mese")
• dog/puppy (sounds like "bidey")
• ball
• baby
• hi
• bye bye
• OOHH! (when we turn on the Christmas lights)
• up
• no
• go (usually "go, go, go!" when watching sports. . . wonder where she gets that from?!)
• okay
• bubble
• Penny (sounds like "minnie")
• amen ("mamen")
• good girl ("goo gir")

Today we were in Target (where else would we be?!) as I was trying to finish up our Christmas shopping.  Cora was muttering a little bit under her breath, and when I stopped to listen to what she was actually saying, I heard this:

"ooh, ooh, ah, ah, bye bye"

Parents out there, do you know where she got that?!  Yeppers, that's the closing song to Playhouse Disney.  I think she's maybe heard it twice in her life, but it must have made a big impression on her!  Now, if I say "ooh, ooh" to her, she'll respond "ah, ah, bye bye."  Makes me giggle!
