Bluet's Word List


Here is a continuously updating list of all the words Bluet has said in approximate chronological order:

Baby (Baba, to refer to herself, the baby on the shampoo bottle, or any other picture of a baby lying around the house; no longer used to refer to herself, she has solved the conundrum of the mirror)
Daddy (Addy, usually)
Mama (usually Mamamamamama)
Doggy (usually followed by high pitched squeals of excitement)
Uh-oh
This (dis)
Bye Bye 
Banana (or, a word that is long and begins with 'b' and is said at breakfast time, or when a banana is in sight)
Thank you (usually said in response to receiving a banana)
Ball
Fish (ish)
Mine (first heard a week or so after she visited her cousin Lila Boyle and experienced many struggles over Lila's Elmos)
Squirrel (said one time only, the week after she first learned what a squirrel was)
Bluet (looking at herself in the mirror, or pointing at herself, not said for a while, though she definitely knows it is her name)
No (nonononononono, more useful for Bluet than parents)
Ruthy (Pronounced 'Roo-t' to refer to her nanny)
Hug (one time only) 
Kiss (one time only) 
Nose (one time only, she can identify it at will, though) 
Eyes (one evening only, but many times, pointing at everyone's eyes)
(although she can also identify her (or our) foot, ears and shoe, she has never said any of these words)
Hello (reserved for the phone)
Hi (general purpose greeting; she also likes to wave at people she knows, like all the doormen on 79th street). 
What's that? (wa da, or something)
All done
I see (often said whilst playing 'where's Bluet')
Okay (Current favourite; particularly adorable when used in response to question, e.g. 'can I put on your shoes').
Bubble
Up (new this week, whilst pointing at the sky)
