What she says

I've been keeping a log of the words and my phrases my 19-month old daughter Anisa says. Her first word was mama, next tata and Mario, our dog's name. At 14-months-old, I counted 14 words, half of them in Czech. They were:

mama
tata
Mario
Joh (for Jonah, her big brother)
pejsek (which means doggie in Czech)
papat (to eat in baby language, she used it to ask to nurse
bye
hi
v (for voda which means water)
up
au (Czech for ouch)
pipi (short for pipinka which means birdie)
ne or no (which mean the same thing)
shoe


At 17 months her repertoir consisted of these words:
čaj
v
hami (for eat)
hačí (meaning sit)
pejsek
meow (for cat)
cheese
kaki (for poop)
socks
book or booka or bookaka (a combination of book and knížka)
pipi, she also says "ah-ah" for the sound of the crows and other birds
cracker
night-night
baby (for baby and doll)
apple
tata
mama
Jonah
Mario
(out)side
peaz (for please when she remembers)
no
stop it
au
není (which means, there is no more, or it's not there)
mé (short for méd'a which means Teddy bear)
up
pho(ne)
block
box
high five
yeah
'no
bye-bye
hi
Anisa
papír (which means paper)
puppy
baba (short for bottle)
koník (horsie in Czech)
br (first sound of brouk which means beetle)
houpy hou (which is the sound for swinging) eye or oko
nos (Czech for nose)
open

fall


At 18-months-old, Anisa began to use complete or toddler-style sentences:

What's that?
It's cold.
It's hot.
Don't touch.
It's (a) coat.
