Gabby-isms

I suppose it's time for the first of the funny things that Gabby says. Most of her remarks aren't overly witty yet, but we do get a few from time to time.

Yesterday as we were trying to get Kate to count two sets of numbers together in a rudimentary attempt at learning addition, we kept asking her what came after six. "I don't know!" she kept replying.

"Seven!" answered Gabby. It was quite possibly by chance, but funny none the less.

Every time we get out the alphabet flash cards, to practice with Kate, Gabby yells, "C!" Her favorite letter.

Then there are the words that she's not quite proficient at using yet. There's button that is shortened to only it's first syllable. Bad enough in itself, but some of my maternity clothes have buttons on the back pockets. Lovely for the times she pushes on them shouting her version of button. Of course there are words like shirt, that loose their "r" and fork, which for some reason has mutated into a word I have never said in my entire life, but does start with "f" and end in "k."

We are enjoying knowing more and more what is on this munchkin's mind though, and I'm sure she'll have many funny sayings to come.
