A Noah Lexicon

I thought I'd give a working guide to Noah-speak:

b'lewn = balloon. The key is not opening your mouth when you say this.
ho-ho = hot cocoa. The first h should be guttural like the h in "Hannukah."
moahr = more. He knows that this will usually get him more food.
lee-lee = Lily. This is how he says big sister's name.
bah-bahll = ball. This can really refer to just about any spherical object.
uh...huh = I want that. This must be pronounced with a distinct down-up in pitch. Always accompanied by pointing.
dah or dah-dah = Daddy. Sometimes repeated over and over.
mah or mah-mah = Mommy. Again, sometimes repeated over and over.

The neat thing is that he understands what we're saying and with yes or no questions you can usually figure out what he wants. He doesn't do much for a negative response, but is usually quite enthusiastic about affirmative.

Now if you happen to spend time with Noah you can communicate thanks to this handy guide to Noahish.
