I don't know exactly when Marlo started combining words. A couple months ago, I think. In any case, she is trying very hard to contribute to real conversations in our house. Her parts take a little decoding:
Marlo: "Chair nose floor."
Translation: "I fell off of my chair a few weeks ago and hurt my nose on the floor. I'm kind of obsessed about it."
Marlo: "Deddy bus."
Translation: "It's time to get Hayden at the bus stop!"
Marlo: "Babybug outside bye-bye."
Translation: "Do you remember that ladybug I found in the house? You put it outside and it went bye-bye."
Marlo (in tears): "Milk pockpock!"
Translation: "Damn it! Why won't my sippy cup of milk fit in my pocket!"
Marlo: "DRAW! KIDS!"
Translation: "I really love going to that toddler art class, and now every time we leave the house I think we are going to go draw with kids."
Marlo: "Ucky milk. BLEH."
Translation: "I found a sippy cup of curdled milk and I tried some."
