8. ___________night night? (she asks this when ANYBODY is closing their eyes for any reason or has their head down.)
7. "too too chrain!!" (This is said in response to the sound of a train or the sight of a semi, a truck pulling something, or any vehicle longer than a pickup truck)
6. "too too chrain (jabber jabber) far (jabber jabber) see?" Me: "yes Gracee, the choo choo train is to far away to see right now huh?" Gracee: "Uh huh"
5. Me: "Gracee, do you want to go downstairs with me to switch the laundry?" Gracee: "uh umm.... (long pause) YAH! She considers every question negotiable and by taking a while to think it through before answering, it's almost like she is letting us know she is her own person.
4. "Pretty singing (a small pause for emphasis), Mama!" She'll do anything she can to get me to sing something and then finish off with that nice compliment.
3. The word "fesin" means "this one"--so clearly, it can mean several things. "Table...fesin. Ball fesin. Blanket fesin..." She lovingly taps whatever it is she is referring to as she chants.
2. (From Dorah the Explorer:) "Gracee, say 'swiper no swipin'!'" Gracee: "NO SWIPIN' NO!"
1. My favorite is when she'll run up and grab me with a squeeze and say "WUV!!!!" (meaning, of course, love.)

How cute! Steve and I were just talking this morning that if we could have another child we'd want it to be a girl. Little girls are the BEST! Ours isn't little anymore and it makes me sad. So I'll re-live those moments through you!
Adorable...
Of course my favorite is:
"Hia Haya!" then always followed with a big hug. Love that girl!
This is such a great post! I can still remember when her communication was like this. Now everything she says is so much more clear. She is a great little communicator, just like her mamma.
