“Girl Unafraid (to Speak)”: Words Evie Says

 

“Heaven Knows I’m Adorable Now”

Evie says new words all the time. It blows our minds every time she opens her mouth and utters something new.

I got Simon Goddard’s Mozipedia: The Encyclopaedia of Morrissey and The Smiths for Christmas this year, and thought Moz might make a most excellent tutor for our tiny tot. Who writes more eloquent lyrics, after all?

Below is a list of all the words Evie has been saying over the course of the past two months. The list grows longer every day.

Maybe I will pass some of my writing assignments to her.

Thanks to The Big Takeover‘s Joseph Kyle, and Kansas City’s son Kevin Eschleman for inspiring this post.
