Ummmm….

Since when did my baby start looking so old and what’s up with that shaggy hair?
PLUS: she’s been forming sentences! Well… sorta… Here. I’ll list out her most recent “sentences” and translate them for you…
“More… wa wa” = More water please. Thank you.
“Dageh eatin wawa” = That dog over there is drinking some water.
“Moh bless” = Bless you mama, that was a loud sneeze!
“Coookey pweese” = Please may I have a cookie. I would really enjoy one right now.
“Ooooooooo kitteh” = Oh, this kitty is so soft and fuzzy.
“Biga ta dee a toe la me na?” = Can I please drive the car?
“Blagga de bee ba boo… He-whoa?” = Someone is calling my phone. Hello?

Oh, and Ruari vlogged. She wanted to explain to you all how to properly say: “Hello.”
