Onay

Oh, and did I mention that Lilli as learned the word "no?" She is a master of "no." Almost as good as David Spade in those annoying commercials. She has a very succinct, no nonsense kind of "no." Almost Italian in its staccatoness. She never uses it angrily though. Mostly she employs it to refuse food in a kind of polite way. Would you like some more tofu Lilli? No. Milk? No. Cereal? No.

She has also started doing this weird thing where she inverts syllables. For example, these days she often says mima for mommy, deeda, for daddy, and gida for doggie. I'm not quite sure what this means developmentally. Maybe she thinks that as long as she uses all the syllables in a word, the order doesn't really matter? Maybe she thinks syllables are independent of words? Maybe she's just weird? Who knows. We think it's funny anyway. Maybe she'll master Pig Latin at a very early age.
