Yesterday morning Asya said her first sentence. I think. She has a very limited spoken vocabulary so far: Mama, Papa, nyum or am for food, ляля (baby or referring to herself), ow (hot/ouch/dog/cat/horse, depends on the context) and sometimes Ba (Jaan, from братик/brother?) and Yaya (Raia). Well, yesterday morning she was standing in her crib, hungry and yelling for me. Then she paused and said very clearly, "Мама Ляля АМ!" That's a sentence, right? "Mama, Baby [wants] FOOD!"

That sounds like a sentence. =)
That's great! The girl has her priorities in order!! (: Love, Julie
Yep, that's a sentence. (in perfect Ukrainian, that's hilarious!) Congratulations! Priorities in order, indeed!
I love the us of ow for 6 different words depending on context. We have that same situation in our house right now.
Yep, that's a sentence, alright...a perfect Ukranian sentence!?!

Oh, I forgot to mention the first meaning of "ow." It also means "book."
A perfect sentence out of despair. :-) When nothing else works, they start talk. That's funny about the perfect Ukrainian. Maybe they call Russian Ukrainian now?! For Ukrainian babushkas it may have no difference since they always spoke Russian in Ukrain in the former Soviet Union. :-)
I forgot to sign. It was mine (Leana's) comment above.
