Nan-num and Bubbles

So we're getting a lot of interesting material from Pabu, and I've been very remiss in sharing. I thought I would take a couple minutes tonight to catch folks up.

Random has really started communicating. "Peezh" for please. "Mo" for more. The requisites, Mommie, Daddie, baby, etc. Sometimes she even gets out a few words in a row that communicate more meaning. "Nana, Mo!" for more banana. "Pappy Momma" for happy to see Mommie.

And her own name. She calls herself Nan-num. It's not a lazy "nannum" (all run together). There's a definite inflection, close to Nan-yum or Nan-ym. That's what she says when you ask her what her name is (if she doesn't just mimic you by saying "ame is."

In fact, she does that a lot. She'll take the last syllable or couple syllables of what you said and repeat them to you. Very cute.

And poor Gamble. He wants to love her so much, and she just shuts him down and turns him away. Worse still, she's taken to calling him Bubbles, her best interpretation of his name.
