Yep!! My oldest said this one when she was one... and we all still say it now.

My mother tells me I used to say "goomies"!

That's cute too!

Here are some new ones to decode:

pipianio (it's fun to play)
lulululu (it's round)
creakins (you hear them)
screekit (you're supposed to keep it)

pipianio (it's fun to play) = piano
lulululu (it's round) = ???? maybe balloon?
creakins (you hear them) = crickets
screekit (you're supposed to keep it) = secret

Sorry if I just made a faux-pas... but of course you can use any kid's words, so pass them along if you think of any!

Can you guess these?

One kid says:
Peekapaku
Meenoo Rara
Namitz
Bagi Bagi

And other kids say:
Tanit
Tamitz
Moh
Bap

Zisisabu- uriel says that!

Ok, guess no one tried to figure these out.
Peekapaku= cucumber.
meenoo rara= I want to go to sleep
namitz, tanit, tamitz= sandwhich. (diff kids.)
Bap= byebye
Bagi bagi= pack n play
zisisabu= this is a book.

Seraph, I just had no clue what they could be. Maybe give little hints with the words next time? Sorry if your post got lost in the shuffle.

yeah... like I suggested before, little hints will help think in the right direction. Smile

All these are types of snacks:
chalk cookies (I posted this before, so if you read that thread, don't guess)

Our version is "es-mimi." Smile

We also still use it. Isn't it fun to use your kids' baby words? Smile

My kids constantly ask me how they said this or that word when they were little. LOL
