Man that is hard, because it sounds like it's a comp-something and she's correcting you to "comp-WHERE"

Contrabass? Calliope? how close was she

First thought, naturally, was computer, but that wouldn't be hard and isn't exclusively a music player.

Not my child, but when my niece was little my sister was told by the daycare that my niece was saying "motherf@&%*#!". My sister and her dh didn't use that word and were shocked, figuring the daycare was mistaken. But sure enough she started saying it at home as well. In the end they figured out she just wanted "more cracker"

She was not close at all, lol. The only similarities are that both words end in an R sound and both words are accented on the 2nd syllable.

I have a new word!

It is "oosh". Sometimes it is "Ohsh"

It does actually start with 'O'. The "sh" is supposed to be a /j/ like the start of jelly sound.

guesses?

you're good, it is "orange" which is also "apple" lol because "apple" means any fruit that is not a banana of course! ("oosh" being relatively new and "apple" being the previous word he tends to 'forget' when excited about the opportunity to eat one lol)

I have a new one "fi" (long 'i')

despite not having peaches, apples were referred to by the sign for peaches for the longest time around here.

Fi...fi....hmmm, fire?

High five?

"pear" is really more "pu-air"

(Funnily "pear" pronounced exactly correctly, is her word for avocados, but I think that's her being confused by the shape. My parents have a pear tree and she and my dad went through tons of pears on our visit this summer.)

Yup sapphire gets it again! he wants to be in on the high-fives


OK now I've REALLY got one, good luck with this! Tonight's new word is---"we-oh"

Context: playtime. and it goes along with a song I sing and a specific toy.

I'm gonna go with "pu-air" being "prayer" too

sapphire--my baby does the same thing as yours with "pear" except that his word is "apple"--pronouced correctly--and it literally means "any fruit that is not a banana"

Except "pear" which he also said for the first time correctly, about an actual pear, at supper tonight.

so I guess now "apple" means any fruit that is not a banana or a pear. Even though he says "oosh" if I say "orange" when he first sees it and is all excited, he still says "apple"

Oh and yesterday he got all excited about a piece of melon and yelled "apple, apple" for it I said "no, Melon" he said "mmmmmmmm" just thought that was cute (especially since he adores melon!)

so cute!

"pu-air" is "computer"

Is we-oh "wheel" and in reference to a toy bus that has wheels that go round and round?

I figured I should've said it wasn't "wheel" or "Wheels on the Bus"

It DOES start with "w" sound, it is missing a middle syllable, and the "oh" on the end is subbing for a 'harder' sound for a baby to make.

but it IS to a song that is on a specific toy.

I have another one. This was confusing only because it was *our* house but FINALLY I got a clue

babe would climb up on the kitchen table and then sit or stand in the middle of it yelling "Bee-bo, Bee-bo!" Now, in our house, thanks to Sandra Boynton, that means "belly-button" (Google her or "belly button book" it's hilarious.)

So here I am wondering why the heck my kid would be in the middle of the table yelling about bellybuttons.....

When he FINALLY got it out just a *little* clearer I realized he was actually saying "Table" like "Here I am stuck on the table come rescue me!"

(not that I left him there cause i didn't know what he meant )
