The things Elena says...

I have decided that this time of toddlerhood goes by so quickly, and I don't want to forget all of the cute ways that Elena pronounces words.  So, I'm taking this time to document the funniest, cutest, and most memory-worthy words or phrases.

The best one, which makes Sean and I giggle every time she says it is......Hungry! 
Elena pronounces it like "horny".  We keep trying to get her to get the "G" sound in there, but no luck yet.  It's even funnier if you understand the sign language that accompanies this word.  The sign for "horny" is the same as "hungry", but is repeated whereas with "hungry" it is only one motion.  So, even when she signs "hungry", she looks like she could be signing and saying the other word... cracks us up every time!
