Nugget Speak





The Nugget is talking a blue streak and continues to string words and concepts together. She totally cracks us up and comes up with great questions, funny statements, and interesting commands.

"daddy, more under water" - she got some good laughs as daddy went under water at swimming classes while holding her above the water

"sun - I found it!" - her proclamation on the way to church on Easter as the sun broke through the clouds on her side of the car

"more up high" - her request to be thrown up in the air over and over again

"mama, daddy no hug" (or "no kiss") - our instructions if we show each other affection

"Liana hold it", "Liana do", "Liana!" - independent Liana wanting to do everything for herself

"1,6,9!" - she will give me this countdown (supposed to be 1,2,3) before she jumps into my arms at swimming class

"Nake!" - the Nugget's proclamation when she is naked or wants to be naked, usually right before tubby time. She will run around as naked as a jay bird and sometimes even draws naked :-)

"Igotthat" - usually says this with arm outstretched or pointing when she wants something

By the way, everything is green ... until we say, "no, what color is it really?" She will then tell us the right color (usually). Not sure about the obsession with green but she is a big fan.

"Hold You!" - The Nugget will say this when she wants you to hold her, either because she has a boo-boo, is sleepy, acting shy, or in general wants to be held. It can be directed specifically as in "mama hold you!"

"losht" - this means "lost", and the Nugget will put her hands over her eyes and pretend to be lost or invisible. We need to ask "where is Liana" and she will uncover her eyes and yell "boo!" or just giggle with excitement. This happens sometimes when we meet new people or if she hasn't seen someone in a long time. Synonyms are "shy" - which she is definitely NOT.

"daddy's funny" - my favorite ... it's all of my impromptu material that she loves ;-)
