It's been a while since I've blogged, and it's probably because I've been too busy chasing a certain little girl around the house.
Kailyn is seriously mobile and a bundle of energy. She's also learning new words each day.
For instance, she knows how to say 'uh-oh!' when she drops something and can say 'yummy,' 'baby,' 'nai nai' (Chinese for 'milk') and 'Da Da.' So far, she still refuses to say 'Ma Ma' even though we know she can say it :)
What's even funnier than hearing our daughter say real words is the gibberish she speaks. For a while she would say 'Abi-abi-abi' (Helen thought she was trying to say 'happy'.) More recently she's been saying 'dubba-dubba-dubba.'
The newest Kailyn phrase is based on a toy Elmo we have in the house. He says lots of things, including 'yippee-ki-yay,' which gets turned into 'dubba-yay' when Kiki tries to copy me, copying Elmo.
The first time Helen heard the Elmo toy say that, her eyes got wide and asked if a toy should be saying that. When I asked why she freaked out, she said it was because whenever she heard that phrase she expected a swear to follow. I guess that's the Bruce Willis / Die Hard Effect.
