Baby talk..what Did Your Kids Tell?(just for Fun Question)

My oldest spoke pretty clearly from the start but my favorite was alligator=elevator :)

My youngest:
clease=please
opplepus=octopus
Raron=Aaron

clease is the only one he still says :( my baby is getting to big.

Mommy its gark outside. The other day we were driving and he noticed 2 jeeps in a lot. He said to me "Mommy, look Jeepasises!"
My daughter now 7 couldn't pronounce her name when she started talking, her name is Katarina so she called herself Nina. It stayed and to this day she is called Nina by everyone. She even writes it on her school papers. Though she can write and spell her full name, Nina is just faster.

Great post! One of my favorites my daughter says is 'peshu teet,' which can mean 2 different things... 'brush my teeth' or 'special treat!' Hilarious!

my favorite is upslide down, instead of upside down.

My son is now two and has the vocab of your average 4 year old but just a few months ago he was saying things he made up and stuck with the family

Dow dow= night night
poop-a-doop= <~~ well u can figure that one out
Beeee= blankey i loved it when he'd say i got da beeeee (really fast)
chatoe beeeerzzz= chicago bears
i is scury= i am scared
binch= grinch (his fav movie) he loves the baby binch lol
bob-eeee-oooo= spongebob (his cousing watch it)
omie omie= umie zoomie (tv show)
i u two moma= i love you too moma
milt= milk and chacolate milk was bunny milt cause the nesquick rabbit lol he still calls that bunny milk
bobbbbyyyyyyyyQ= bbq

but to this day the thing he said the most for some reason just melts my heart........
i home now moma?!?! with a big smile on his face!

a couple of weeks ago he was following a bug and it went into the wheel well of a truck he stuck his head in there to watch it. He ended up getting his head stuck in there and now everytime he sees a blue truck he says

i stuck in erits tar= i stuck in erics car.... it was scary at the time but now i can laugh about it lol.......

Kimmie

ohh there is always a lot of words that makes me smile.. both of my children and now grandchildren.

My oldest started talking at 6 months and by the time he was a year old he did pretty well with his speaking. It was all cute but other then not being able to say "L" sounds he did well. He would say Bowing for Bowling. He would say he wants a "cock-it" and then wiggle around. It took us a bit to know he wanted a chocolate shake..lol.

My daughter started talking at 8 months and she would get words confused. One of my favorates was when it was raining and she got all excited and said "Oh.. It's sparklin' on the woof" it should have been sprinking on the roof..lol She also would say "da-wa-es" for drawers.

My youngest was the one who didn't talk until he was close to two and he would talk in pig latin. His brother Jarrod was Air-jud and his sister Cassie he would drop the C which upset her a lot. He would want to go rock-a-bye and he would always need "help-a-me" but one of my favorites was when he liked going through the tunnels on the highway into Yellowstone. We lived in Cody for a summer when he turned 2 and he would always tell his dad "Un-Tulls, Daddy Un-Tulls!" wanting to go through them.

My granddaughter always said cute things like her daddy (my youngest). Batman became Matban and brother is brudder. She came in the house this fall excited as she told me she "melled a gunk outside" She smelled a skunk. She had a cute way of saying waffles also. We would spend a lot of time getting her to say waffles just to giggle about it.

My son is 19 months and he calls a spoon a "boons." He also ran around for about a month saying "Guppy guppy guppy" and we had no idea what he was trying to say until one morning he pointed at his sippy cup and said it. Then we figured out he was saying "cuppy!"

ambuline tuck=ambulance truck
Boppa=Grandpa
Jeeca=Jessica
Towley=Charlie
lellow=ellow
A Mean=answer to what's daddy? A Marine

my nephew actually holds my favorites, my son did not use a lot of them
doing = dooding
going = goning

My 2 1/2 year old currently says:

packback=backpack
goosie-Goofy (his stuffed Goofy)
gayade-gatorade
f**k=frog, yes we are working on correcting this! The first time he said it my husband cracked up, so now my son thinks it's funny. I'm just waiting for the day when he says it out loud in public. I'll have a lot of explaining to do.

Some of our words were...
gunk gunk = drink (the sound you make when swallowing)
He'd say, I want a gunk gunk.
renember = remember
kruck = truck
My daughter liked to be pushed "back and forest" on the swing. (back and forth)
She also had a friend in preschool whose name was Sydney and my daughter called her Cindy. Know one could convince her it was actually Sydney, that is just not what she was hearing. So to this day we refer to her as Cindy. The girls went to different schools after preschool, but when we run into her we still call her Cindy for fun. It's become a nickname.

My son's favorite treat was a bite of cheesecake (shared with me) from
"Chik uh Fay" (Chik-Fil-A).

And my daughter's first word was her brother's name:
Urrin (Aaron).
She is also a picky eater... and doesn't like "cold slop" (cole slaw).

It took me a long time to correct one word that my daughter would say. She called grasshoppers a grasshelper. I loved it, I did finally tell her the correct name but from time to time she still calls them grasshelpers. lol :)

bacon = blanket
yogrit =yogur
whir = wool as in bah bah black sheep have you any whir
i don't correct these family favs

I used to write down the funny things my kids said, but after a while the paper got full and I gave it up. Some of my favorites are:

"Moo-me" - excuse me
"Basketti" - spaghetti
"Pack ick" - Patrick
"Pa Ba" - peanut butter
"Ba Ta" - strawberry
and it seems like all 5 said "f**k" for truck.

My girls (twins) are 8 now, but we still refer to the remote control as "moat."
Also we turned snuggle into a noun. Instead of "come give me a snuggle" it has become "come give me a snug"

hungy-hungry
banky-blankie
baba-bottle/drink
mamama lol
that-tat
big-ig
and inki for her pacifier

The one I will always remember the most is when my DD2 (now 6) would repeatedly say, "Muffme." For days we could not figure out what that meant. Muffin was as close as we could get, but that that didn't make a lot of sense. Then, finally, she was standing at the back door of my parent's house when her Dad was going outside and she said, "Want go muffme." We finally put together that "muff me" = "with me" which actually meant "with you." What she was saying was, "Want go with you." It was so cute and, like you, I was pretty sad when she finally learned to say "with you" correctly.

Thanks for letting me relive it for just a moment!

After reading some other responses, some other words came to mind.

DD3 (now 2) currently says "packpack" for "backpack" and loves to "nuggle" (snuggle) with Mom & Dad. I must admit, I now say "nuggle." It's just too cute I don't want to let it go too quickly.

My DS (now 4) also used to say "uptar" for guitar.

It has been a little while but one I remember off the top of my head was "next to you" was neckachu.

When my son was 18 mos. he called pumpkins "boo-bahs". He's 6 1/2 yrs now and I love to remind him of some of the "words" he used, lol

Wabble= Water
bamma= Grandma
bampa= Grandpa

I really miss the days when cats were impatient little creatures who said NOW! Now that he's older they say Meow!

Oh and he says "Ope it" for open it

we have twin girls that are 2. Some of my favorites are:

buggy = Buckey -mamaws dog
I wub oo = I love you
da-eee = Daddy
tar = guitar
moat = tv remote
troll = game controller
geen = green
purkel = purple
Most of the latest things they do are using discriptive words:
Da-ee duck? Mommy duck? Baby duck? (one of the girls is facinated with family dynamics)

My all time favorite though is my little brunette girl calls all animal tails didder-dits. No idea where it came from. Super cute when she says it. She will point to one of the cats tails if we ask her where Grey or Zeuses tail is, but she says, emphatically, that its a didder-dit or dudder-dut. (the sound is somewhere between the i and u sound) I hope she never quits saying it!

my 2.5 yr old is getting better, but some that he still says wrong:

door = "GOR"
Buzz Lightyear = "BUZZ EAAR"
outside = "AH - DASS"
milk = "MOOK" (oo like in 'moon')

Sounds like you will have yourself quite a talker real quick. Thanks for the post.

At my daughter's limited speech, she would say "Leave my lone" for leave me alone. We used to poke at her just to get her to say it. We cherished it for about a month and then taught her the correct way. She no longer remembers but smiles at the thought.

acrum = icecream
soos - shoes
sudel - strudel
woogles - wiggles

Isn't it amazing that we start calling things by their words. One of my friends little girls used to call hands patty paws, and that stuck. I still say it. Fretzels for pretzels. My now 9 year old called my Nephew Noah, NoFah...I still call him that.

One of the cutest things my now 7 year old used to say when we would pick up my other daughter from school was, the Ring is Belling...instead of the Bell is Ringing. She also used to call McDonalds 'Jewie Fries' as she would always get Juice and Fries.

heh our favorite was our daughter trying to say "squirrel"... it came out as "queer".... LOL thankfully she says it correctly now :)

she proud of herself now for learning how to correctly say "thirty" - she had been pronouncing it as "firty"

when I was little, I couldn't say my sister's name "Stephanie" - so I called her "Net-na-nie"

My daughter was my parents' first grandchild, and my mom wanted to be "Nana". Well for some reason we could never get my daughter to say "Nana" it was always "Nannies" - yes, plural! A few times she said "Nana" so we knew she COULD say it, but today she is "Nanny" lol

I know there's more but I can't remember! She's 4 1/2 now and she spoke pretty clearly early on. My 2 year old nephew is a different story.. don't even ask me what he's saying! haha I do know he says "El" for elephant, and something like "dono" for dinosaur.

My daughter is 3.5 now and my husband and I still use two of the words she said incorrectly. Bubbee for water and meenas for money.

My son was almost two when his brother was born, and he wanted to name him Moo-moo-baa. Luckily, we have on video big brother pointing at baby brother through the hospital nursery window and saying, "Hi, Baby Moo-moo-baa!"

tedacter = helicopter
collect the dots = connect the dots
owe-we, yo! = open, closed! (my favorite!)
alligator = elevator
ma-fu**-shun = malfunction (trying real hard to correct that one, but I admit it is another favorite!)
poot=poop (another favorite, used in a sentence: "mommy, I made 3 pootsies! And they were big!)

I totally know what you're saying! I got my son on video before he started saying his words more clearly.... I miss it too :) it's adorable!

Trung = triangle
ma-ee = monkey
cha-a-mew = chocolate milk
bra-a-wee = broccoli
tro = strawberry
I could go on too :)
Oh yeah! and my son would say "buhlabuhla" for anything he didn't know... like we had a friend over who was leaving with my husband and he didn't remember his name so he said... "bye, bye dada!" "bye, bye (pause) buhlabuhla" I laughed about that one for awhile!

I loved and now miss those too:

kelion - skeleton
cary tory - scary story
lello - yellow
pasghetti - spaghetti
low lu = I love you ( my favorite :)

I have forgotten so many and wish now I had written them down.

ket= blanket
hungary=hungry
troller=xbox controller
cicker=tv clicker

momokukle = motorcycle
bobokukle = bicycle
peas = please
boo = bus, book,
wawa = water
atar = guitar
kock = sock (we are definitely trying to work on the "s" sound!)
baba = backpack

Of course the words that are used to generalize anything similar are funny too. My 21-month-old son insists the pumpkins on our steps are apples, all berries are "blues", any cracker or bread product is a "cacker". And EVERYTHING he likes is his: MY cracker, MY chair, MY car, MY Elmo . . . you get the idea! The explosion of sound is fantastic though and it is very fun to hear these little beings turn into people we can have conversations with!

My daughter says dom for done. She says "Venka (Veronica) is dom", of Ga (Sean) is dom. They complain she is calling them dumb. She starting says Ga back when she was about 16 months and we always thought she was saying "guys" since my husband and I tend to refer to our older kids as "guys". My son used to have a different way to say helicopter but I cannot remember and it was so cute. When the kids were in preschool, one of the older grade teacher's told me to cherish how they speak as little ones since they grow so fast. How right she was!

chawockit = chocolate
dinosaurn = dinosaurs
monstern = monsters
yo cocum = you're welcome

My oldest (who is now 7) used to say, "Soccah ball" for eraser. It turns out that her babysitter had an eraser that was colored like a soccer ball.

She also used to say, "Pice" for strawberry

She also used to say, "Wati" for "watch." At that time, Winnie the Pooh was her favorite video, so she would say over and over, "Wati Pooh? Wati Pooh?"

Our youngest (who is 4) still says, "Narbles" for "marbles." I think it's so cute that I don't want to correct her.

My daughter would say hepach for ketchup, and nuggo me for snuggle me at bedtime. My son would say smarshmellows for marshmallows. Loved their versions of tough words!

This is such a cute question!
-My little girl used to say, "dootie" for cookie.
-She stills calls the fast food place McDonalds, "Old Mcdonalds". (I just love that one and won't correct it!)
-She calls suckers/lollipops "ladypops" from another cousin who does the same.
-She calls rice krispis treats, "ice cream crispies"---no idea why!

I don't have the heart to correct everything, especially when it sounds so cute!

My son messes up his "sm" sounds, so words beginning with "sm" come out like "f" so his favorite little candies, "Smarties" are "Farties". Sorry, but I can't resist calling them "Farties" too!

Also, I often call my son "Mommy's Smart Boy" which out of his mouth is "Mommy's Fart Boy" which I have to say, would also apply!!! LOL

How cute! My son is in the stage of calling everything "Turtle" We took him to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday and let him ride a Pony,The whole time he called the pony a Turtle..We couldn't help but laugh.

My 4 year old still calls toilet paper "too lit" paper. It's just so cute.

They are so cute. My daughter used to say "dooge" for shoes, and "mankit" for blanket. She still has problems saying "cl" so she says "plose the door", and her friend is "Ploee" not Chloe. She says "lello" for yellow. She woke up at night recently with a nightmare that there was a fwog in her room. Just love it.

Thank you - 2P
outside - outhouse
backpack - packpack
tractor - trat-tor
cracker - trat-tor (slight difference from tractor, but I still confuse the two)

S. -
What a great post! Isn't it fun at this age? My daughter is now four, but my husband and I still sometimes call the radio "wordi" because that was her word for it! She still says "Titto" for tickle. = ) Have fun and be sure to write all his precious words down before you forget!

my 14 mnth old who mostly just babbles pushed me away and told me to get while I was trying to dry his head off in the tub the other night! just out of no where "get!" he also carries around a stuffed pooh bear. I like to take the bear and say "pooh!" in a real high pitched voiced and tap his nose to my sons. and now I will find my son in his room with pooh bears nose mashed against his saying ohh! real high pitched

My eldest had a chocolate milk addiction. He used to ask for "shock it munk" or "shock o lit munk". He was addicted to Star Wars at the time as well and his favorite character was Jar Jar Binx, unfortunately he called him "Jar Jar B**ch". And does anyone remember the big Teletubby scandal here in the U.S. when they had to recall Po because it sounded like he was cursing? I'll not say it here because in the U.S. it is a seriously derogatory word, however my son swore the doll was saying, "Patrick, Patrick!"

My daughter called her older brother Patrick, "Patterick" and whenever she had to go to the bathroom she said she needed to "Peepileedle leedle lee" The worse she needed to go the longer the word got! She called her pillow a "pillzit" and her baby doll's name was "Pick Ax".

My daughter is 3 and a half now, and some of her words were really cute too - I miss some of it, she talks like such a big kid now! My little guy is still only 20 months and is taking a little longer to get understandlbly fluent....so he stil has some good ones.

kumpin=pumpkin
kee=kitty
oosh=shoes
guck=stuck
hep=help
'side=outside

DeeDay- C.J. ( big sister)
