Two-word sentences

pne: A picture of a plush toy, halfway between a duck and a platypus, with a green body and a yellow bill and feet. (Default)

Recently, I've heard the first two-word sentences from Amy.

A few days ago, I was sitting on the toilet when she opened the door and said [dɛdɛ ko] "Daddy toilet" (the second word from German Klo—though she seems to pronounce it with an unaspirated [k]!). And this morning, I was trying to sleep in a little after she had already woken up, and while she was playing around on Stella's side of the bed, Amy looked over to me and said [ɕ̩ ɕ̩ dɛdɛ] "sleep Daddy" = "Daddy is sleeping"!

Linguistic geekery; beware, here be IPA )
