Mispronounced Words

DoctorWorm222

What is your LO's cutest mispronounced word?

E loves bananas. Every time she sees one she smiles really big, wiggles around and yells "mia mia." I don't know how she got "mia mia" from banana, but the cute words with the little wiggle dance are too cute. I'm not one for baby talk, but my whole family is on notice that no one is to teach her the correct word for banana. I will be perfectly happy if she does her "mia mia" dance forever

Oliver's word for cookie was goodooogagagaw it was the same garble sound every time.  I realized he was impersenating cookie monster for a cookie.

Both of my older kids do not say movie theater the call it movieputer,  I do not correct them either.

DS calls water "wa wa" and Elmo is "la la." I haven't corrected either. 

My DD calls the juice we make "apple pie juice." We've all started calling it that now, she knows apples are apples, but for some reason the juice is apple pie. Once we added strawberries to it and she called it "apple pie strawberry breakfast bar juice." I hope she calls it that forever!

DS says bless you after a sneeze which is already the cutest thing on earth but he says it "bayeww". he also gives kisses/hugs when asked he calls it "aww" bc that's always been what I say when he does it. He started to do it on his own to toys and stuffed animals and I. want. to die. from the cute factor.

Lincoln calls the baby, "beh beh".  And he says it really fast.  Cracks me up everytime.  And he says "uh ball" for football.  His dad is so proud!

She has started adding an s to Elmo so she says Elmos. The way she says it sounds like she has a Spanish accent. So adorable. When she says thank you, it comes out "ank ewww". Also adorable.

This made me remember that DS say "da doo" for thank you. And here you go is "here go" really fast.

Love the cuteness!

I think our cutest word right now is "buh-buh" for "baby" but she uses it for all children, even teenagers.  She gets so excited when she sees other kids and just goes around saying it over and over again.  She'll also tell you that the ultrasound picture and my belly are "buh-buh".

The funniest mispronounced word we've got going right now is for both "cook" and "cookie"  - she says "co ck" (damn bump blocking my kid's word!).  Cookie started off as a "cckkk" garbled sound but she has no started adding in the vowels.

H was calling my dad (Papa) 'Baba' for a long time- not only was the P hard for her, but 'Baa Baa Blacksheep' is 'his' song with her-he sings it every time he sees her. It was really cute, and it makes me sad that she now can say Papa and calls him that!

Shock for sock, our dog Sally is "Say yay", both my kids called Elmo Elbow. She calls herself Wola. When she wants to hear Wheels On The Bus she says "Sh Sh Sh". Duck is Guck and its "Kak Kak" instead of quack quack. A frog is a frock which sometimes sounds like the F word. A bunny is a hop hop. And she can say bird but she usually calls them "Teet Teet" instead of tweet tweet. The best ones ever though were from E. He had an Iron Man toy that said Repulser Blast which came out as "White Purple Black" and ginger ale was "change a wheel".

DD2's name is emmalyn and DD1 calls her "Emma ime". Which sounds a lot like lemon lime and it cracks me up!!

The cuteness is killing me!

Aww I love this too. I already said yesterday that Gavin says "shocks" for socks. He calls our dog Sadie "say-ee". Milk is "muck". When he leaves for daycare with MH in the morning, he tries to say "bye mommy" but he skips a syllable and it just comes out "bye-mee". He says "bye-mee" to everyone now. And he calls MH "mommy" which he hates. For help he says "up" and all done is "aww-dow".

He also runs around the house screaming "Abby!" on repeat the past few days. I don't know what it means. Unless he has a crush at daycare already.

For some reason LBB has a really hard time with ri- (rings, ringo are the two where it's an issue).  Instead he swishes his tongue around in his mouth and it comes out like "lih-lihs"

Ducks say "duck duck"

Every fruit is an "app-um" (apple)

Instead of saying "Oh yeah" he says "Ooo Wah"

He calls his rocking horse "Row Row"

Lily calls every fruit an "app" too!  Except for a banana, which was one of her first words ("nana").

Aw, all the LOs are so cute.  Avery calls her daddy "dadden", our dog "doggen" and her baby Stella doll "Deeden". I'm not sure why she adds the "en" at the end, but it's pretty adorable.

Every time DD falls down she says "weee". She also like to play fall down constantly...I get "whoa"  "weeee".

She will try and say "please" but it comes out "piece"

I am always telling her to "sit down" and she will parrot me with "si don", over and over and over.

DS still has trouble saying Mom. It usually comes out as Bob. It's sometimes Bom. He doesn't have too many other verbal words - up, down, on, off, cheese, bye bye, dada. But, he does have over 70 words he can sign!
