Whoa Baby!

Instead of using the adjectives big and little or many and few to describe things - the girls use "whoa" and "baby". Example: When Kristin sees a Great Dane she says, "whoa puppy" and when Camryn sees a toy poodle she says, "baby puppy". Airplane high in the sky - "baby hairpen", a flock of birds flying over the house - "whoa gucks". (They call all birds ducks).

"Whoa" can mean that an object is large or that there are lots of a particular object. "Baby" generally only means small. Hand signs are also used to demonstrate and reiterate the meaning they are trying to convey.

Open hand means "whoa" and pinky finger held up means "baby" (baby finger). See example below:

Kristin

Camryn
