Not sure where she got that from. Today, she did her UMMMMM expression and reflectively commented out loud, "Thinking....." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/verbal-expression#post-337455 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 02:41:00 +0000 808love 337455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How cute!! I love both of them!! :D It's so funny how aware of our own expressions we become through our little mini-me. E says "yah" instead of 'yes' a lot. I'm sure her teachers will love that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/verbal-expression#post-335322 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:42:44 +0000 sarac 335322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter's first actual word (at about 10 months) was 'backup'. I realized that I say it to my dogs about 100 times a day, so no wonder she picked it up. She even says it to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/verbal-expression#post-335240 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:09:37 +0000 Honeybee 335240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD says "oopsies daises" when she drops something. She also holds up her hand and tells us "I got it" when she wants to do something by herself. It's so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/verbal-expression#post-335187 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 11:46:33 +0000 808love 335187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E said wow, uh oh, yay as expected but I was surprised with the less common expressions that popped up. She says boo when she doesn't want to do something like sit in her high chair. Then she says ta-da when she takes a pen cap off, releases a stuck item, or waves a roll of wrapping paper like a wand. The latest is 'UM' She says this and taps her chin and looks up like she is thinking. It is such a bad habit but it is so cute. Any unexpected expressions from your LO? </p>
