On Mimmits, Pippers, and Beeps

Okay, day three, and already I'm a day behind. This is actually yesterday's post, but it's taken a whole day to get to my computer. Hmm, see where this is all heading, don't you?
This blog thing is kind of interesting in that it really forces you to decide which single thing you want to tell people about. It seems like the hard part should be narrowing the field. Sadly, that's not the case. After burning numerous brain cells without producing a single candidate worthy of two sentences, Keira demands that I help her with her mimmits - and it hits me. I'll be so sad when the cute baby-isms are one more thing in the rear view mirror.
Mimmits are mittens. Pippers are slippers, and beeps - well, beeps can be buttons, binkies, belly buttons, our cat Phoebe, most anything that starts with a B and doesn't merit the effort of full pronunciation. I realized how quickly she's acquiring language when my dad, my mom, and my sister respectively went from Gagum, Nagum, and Geeky to Grandpa, Grandma, and Becky within the space of one month.
Before I forget just how damn cute they all are, I thought I'd share. So, without further ado, here is the Keira Phrasebook:
Mimmits - mittens, preferably the red ones with little hearts
Faffles - waffles
Sinerds - dinosoaurs
Pippers - slippers
Beeps - buttons (as in elevator buttons), belly buttons, anything starting with a B
Yay-yo-yo - I don't know
Nack - snack
Beeebs - bib
Mommies - my breasts
Chickens - kitchen
Pretties - anything that she can put on by herself
Eeenee - Ernie from Sesame Street
