Funny new phrases and words

So, Victoria is a "talker." Apparently she talks more than any kid at daycare.....The owner and her daughter always report this with a smile. I wonder if it's funny or annoying to them. The great thing about her being a talker now is that she is a pretty good communicator of her needs. She use to "baby babble," but now she clearly let's us know what she needs/wants. Here are a few of her phrases/words:

1. I wan pool (wants to swim)
2. I wan ball (when she wants to play t-ball, b-ball, soccer or throw her tennis ball)
3. I wan outside (when she wants to play in the backyard)
4. I wan food (when she's hungry or wants french fries from McD's)
5. I wan fry (specifically wants french fries)
6. I wan mama (awwww....she loves me -- she said this to Tony when I was in Princeton last week)
8. I wan color (she's a regular picasso)

She says a whole slew of other words, but her knew phrase is "I wan." She also likes to tell us what's "hot." In Arizona this time of year, EVERYTHING is hot. She looks at the stove and says "hot"...her car seat and says "hot"....her french fry and says "hot", etc.... It's so exciting to be able to understand her. I must say that her tantrums have really been few and far between because of this. Yeah!!!! We have also taught her to point at my belly and say "baby." Cute!
