Goodbye Bubbas, nnfing and gulp

Hello Brudder, Samuel, nursing and water.

Shira is losing her baby talk.

It started with Samuel insisting vehemently, "I HATE being called Bubbas. My name is Samuel." Shira listened carefully, and proceeded to almost instantly drop all use of the name "Bubbas" in favor of "brudder". Within the last couple of days she has begun to call Samuel by his name, on occasion, as well.

Not long after the end of "Bubbas", I also noticed that Shira had started asking for water rather than making her gulping noise.

A week ago or so, she stopped asking to "nnf" (mainly because I would tease her and say, "What's nnf?") and began asking to "nurf." Now within the last day or two she has begun to say "nurse."

She does still insist that she is my baby, though. Whenever she is called a big girl, or even little girl, for that matter, she responds with "Me baby, Mommy" and "Me, Daddy Baby" and will also tack on "Me Brudder Baby" as well. Which in Shira speak means that she's my, Steve's and Samuel's baby. And most definitely NOT a big girl.
