Funny language

Ava has a funny way of saying lots of words. She gets a little lazy with her pronunciation. I'm hoping these funny pronunciations aren't too permanent. Here is a dictionary of Ava's language:

 strawbaba: strawberry
api: octopus
 ah nu (she has said "I wa you" but gets lazy I guess): I love you
babysuit: bathing suit
kowawa: koala
bluebaby: blueberry
crocodukudu: crocodile
Bashu: butterfly
isee: elephant
Shodo: cereal
zippy: zebra
gotch: dog
BDD:DVD
wayu: raspberry
dadu: downstairs
make you: thank you
badup: balloon

She's finally putting two or three words together and just getting a lot more vocal. Some of the sweetest things she says is ""Bless You" whenever we sneeze, or "Sorry, mommy" when she knows she is in trouble. Sometimes she'll whisper "I wa you" (I love you) in our ears if she feels like telling secrets or randomly say "give me kiss". She melts our hearts!

 One day she randomly said her ABCs from A through K. I was very surprised since she just did it out of the blue. But the miracle of all miracles right now is that I can put her down in her crib, say good night and walk away! No more sitting on the floor and singing countless lullabies and trying to hone my ninja skills when I sneak out without making a peep.  This works for nap time too. This is just a huge deal! I don't want to go anywhere and leave our home for a night for fear of messing this up.

Yeah Ava for sleeping! I love her words, sounds like she will be a master of linguistics. Put up some video for us, I can't believe she's almost 2!
