Learn to Speak Lily

Lily is my little chatterbox. She always has lots to say, but not everyone can decipher her words. Here's a little guide to translating "Lil-ese" into English.

zhoo - shoe
goat - coat
dow - down
utt - up
cuck - cup, drink
gack - snack
diss - this (pointing at whatever she wants)
gawk - clock, watch (or anything resembling a clock)
mo-mo-man - snowman
raff - giraffe
sssss - snake
fow-wah - flower, leaves
mmmmmuh! - kiss
ooh-ooh-ah - monkey
bee-bah - zebra
mmmmm! - yummy
beep-bee - pee pee (She's learning about the potty.)
tee-ga - Tinkerbell
moobie (also moofie) - movie
lee-lee - Lily

And here are some words she knows that don't require translation:

mama
dada
dog-dog
ball
go
hat
hi
buh-bye
