Eliana's current vocab (~1.5y)

Eliana's current spoken vocab is at about 30 words. She, like Leona did, economizes on several of them, as you will see below.

• u'oh (u'oh...ooops)
• nanana/nana (Leona and Eliana)
• moh (move and more)
• da-g'n (tracktor and truck and now also sometimes Totoro, which can either mean Totoro or that she wants to watch videos or look at pictures on the computer or the phone)
• bebeh (baby)
• bah or boh (bird and boat and book and bike)
• gah (car)
• bah boh (bubble and diaper)
• bm bm (balloon and Ole Brumm - Whinny the Poo in Norwegian)
• beh doh (play dough)
• jije (finished - where the j is a soft one...not y, but like in Bahji)
• ji (see - as in 'i wanna see' or 'look at this')
• nano (no more, and milk in Chinese)
• a-oo (hello)
• yayaya (takk for maten [thank you for the food - a phrase one says in Norway when one is finished eating; Eliana will not stop saying it until both Judge and I have said 'velbekomme' (you're welcome)])
• gæ gah goh (vær så god - you're welcome, in general terms)

For the last two she uses the correct inflection, of course.

And of course she still has the ones from before:

• mama
• papa/baba
• momo (mormor)
• no
• yah
• nah (good night)
• hah (hot)
• koh (cold)
• ah'oo (owl)

She gives kisses that are often lean-in air-kisses, saying 'mmmmah', and she still uses sounds and signs a lot of animals, as well as eat, water, bath, paint, sleep, pee, poop and fart.

Speaking of pee and poop, she currently goes on the potty by own initiation or by me asking about 90% of the time (of course, now that I wrote this it will all change, as did our routine and sleep issues almost immediately after I wrote about them).

In other news, I suddenly found out, by utter accident, how to make this really wonderfully warm and wind-protective had work so it doesn't constantly fall down in her face. Here, Leona is sporting the "I can't see anything" look back in the day, while below Eliana is sporting the new method:
