Playing with the Farm

Cora was playing quietly with her farm today while I worked on the laundry. The first video here shows her playing - I thought she looked so sweet and grownup, entertaining herself like a big girl by moving the animals around.
Then, I asked her to say some of her words so we could get the sound captured for posterity.

She says, "More Ta" when asked to say "Please." It's a bit of Cora-speak we find adorable; I'll be sad when she starts saying the word properly. It came about because she says "Ta Ta" instead of thank you, and she kept saying "More" when she wanted more of something. When we'd encourage her to say, "More, Please," she said, "More, Ta."
The last phrase she's saying here is a new favorite. She is just starting to say two words together, and "Hello Mummy" and "Hello Dadda" are the ones we hear the most.
Speaking of that, today while we played at the park after Stroller Strides, she came over shouting, "Mummy! More Ta! See-Yah!" (Mummy! Please! Cereal!) (I generally have dry cereal with me as a snack for her.) I was so proud, three words together! She also now says "Bi" for bike and bite; "Ri" for rice; and she can differentiate the owls from the other birds in her bird book (a new favorite) and say "owl." She also can say "whoo" for what the owl says, as opposed to what other birds say. "Fee" is fish and "Fra" is frog; "fly" is butterfly and "Fla" is flower. She is a chatterbox!
