Babbly Louna

Those cutie and heartwarmie ma-ma-ma and pa-pa-pa are starting to take form. They start to make sense, literally. Here are some of Louna's faves:

- PAPA : it could mean just about anything, from Dad to how are you to I want that (while pointing her finger onto something). When we were onboard the plane, she was babbling papa to everybody (with the intonation of ça va? in french). It's her way to ask if everything was alright.

- MAMA : generally means I want food. She generally walks up to the kitchen and goes directly to her high chair. She would then look at me and say mama. Or if she's already eating and you don't match her pace, she would say mamama to tell you I wan't some more!

- TATATA : it's the lyrics of all her songs. Yes, she loves singing.

- TETITE : for her doudou and all the dogs in town (it's because her yaya's dog is named Pepite). I was once with my friends and she called them tetite so they asked me what did that mean to which I answered 'You probably look like dogs, she generally pertains to dogs when she says that'.

- AH-CE : very seldom. It's to say merci (thank you)

- WA : the name of her yaya's son - Noah

- YAW : when she sees a cat. It's her version of meow.

For now, her everyday conversation evolves around these words. Six words which could mean everything. Six words enough to convey what she likes or doesn't like. And I tell you, they work!
More on what she could do:

- she could switch on and off the light
- she could annoy you by changing the tv channels all the time
- she loves putting her hand on her ear and would say Papa? She does it with her phone toy, or the remote control, or the calculator.. anything!
- she understands come here and give it to me but not the word NO.
- she understands calin (hugs) and bisous (kisses) and loves doing them.
- she stamps her feet and shouts when she's angry
- she makes a funny grimace when you scold her, like she's about to cry but actually, she won't.
- she loves opening the drawers and cabinets
- she plays with the building blocks and legos
