It can be a challenge to decipher Mia's utterings. It's not all gibberish. For a couple of days Mia has been saying "an-mo". I thought Mia was saying Elmo and each time, I told her to go get any of her Elmo items or I would hand one to her and she always looked confused. I finally figured out that "an-mo" means "animals". Duh!!!
A few weeks ago, Mia also kept saying "ai-na" each time a hat was in view or about to be put on her. It also took me a long time to figure out she meant hat. My conjecture is that each time I put a hat on her, I said, "wo ai ne" which means "I love you" in Mandarin. We have tried to correct her. It's "mao zi" in Mandarin, but she's being stubborn as usual. Whenever she sees a hat, whether in books or for sale in stores she shouts out, "ai na".
