After weeeeeks of practicing this phrase Baby has FINALLY gotten it down! It was SO frustrating trying to figure out what she wanted to say. Now, she is very confident about it and it loving the attention!
Ok here is how it started (for those with babies and patiently waiting).
At first everyone was convinced it was 'Peek-a-Boo', her sisters name.
Nope
Then as she got better at it, it was absolutely 'girl' something so we knew it wasnt 'Peek-a-Boo (although she may be saying that too but is loving her new words better so stopped practicing Peek-a-Boo).
I was pretty positive it was 'good girl' and thought it was very cute for her 'first words'... words YOU KNOW are words.
Then lastnight she was playing in her cage roughly as to make noise to get my attention. I call to her from the couch 'what you doin girl' and lord have mercy... plain as day! Out comes 'good girl, come 'er girl'.
That is what I say when approaching her cage, always have as not to spook her. She wanted out! She wanted out badly enough to say the phrase that pays lmao.
My husband, who is so not into animals (be weary of those types


He turned around from the computer and said 'Did you hear that'? And we both were like

This is so exciting. For weeks she has been practicing really hard. Then bloop, out it came.
I am really beginning to wonder if her having WAY more cage time because I have been sick had anything to do with her finally getting a word out. She was always on me before, never had time to practice or any reason too.
Then again, she isnt even a yr so she is on track I suppose. I feel like I waited 10 yrs to hear what her first words were going to be.
That is a 5 word phrase though. Doesnt that seem a little odd going from gibberish to phrases, rather than words?
Also, if they start in phrases, does that mean they usually have a higher vocabulary or no research shows such?
And lastly, she does the wolf whistle sometimes beforehand. My husband said it would be so cool if she ended up 'a dude' and did the wolf whistle then 'Good Girl, Come 'er Girl'. I said 'yeah bet you and her would be spending alot more time together... park, movies,'. Nothing gets a girls attention faster than an animal.
Especially an animal that solicits such attention lol.
A little bummed it wasnt 'Hey Baby', really thought it would be.
I'll get a sound file out ASAP. Still running on empty and only sleeping in 2-4 hr spurts from my battle with the RX situation then contracting the flu. I have tried very very very very hard not to lose any weight but sadly wasnt successful. My bones stick out on my wrists... looks pretty nasty. Like a Kate Moss before rehab hehe.
