Michaela usually calls herself "me" (said in a high pitched sing songy tone of voice) but twice tonight when she spotted pics of herself she pointed to them and said "Macka" -------------

My DD looks at her baby pics and says "Oh Look mumma that Zaayaa"
At days she says Zaara really clearly. But she also refers to her self as ME when needs. I asked her who that girl on the mirror was and she said "Oh mUmma *roll eyes*...thats ME"  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Kryssi doesn't say yet, but she does respond to Kryssi or Krystiana, and we very rarely say her long name (only for WINZ or for Hannah to spell ROFL!)
Briona says Bee-ona, as in, sounds B instead of BR. Whereas Hannah calls her Bee-nona still. And Hannah is called Hannah or 'Annah by Briona. ------------- |

| Jack calls himself Jack (but counds more like Dack). Hes sick at the moment and kept going "Mumma Jack sick" all day. He calls Caprece Freece so now we all call her Freece too. Caprece has just started making a Jack noise that may be referring to Jack but still a bit early to tell. |

Xanda talks about himself in third person and confuses everyone because most days it sounds like he is saying nana instead of xanda. But we know he is saying Xanda. But it is always in third person, such as 'Xanda go toilet now". ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

I call them a pain in the butt. They call themselves nothing. They don't seem to want to say their names, in fact I'm not convinced they know which name belongs to which gremlin coz sometimes I'll say to Sienna "where's Sienna's nose?" and she'll point at Mercedes nose, or I'll say "where's Mercedes nose?" and she'll point at her own. Mind you, self awareness is apparently slower in twins.
Sienna calls Chiara Keekee or bubba and Mercedes calls her Yaya or bubba. They both call Maya Maya. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Erin knew she was Erin from pretty early on, but didn't start identifying herself until more recently, mostly with "me", lots of "I want", and the occasional "Eh-win" ------------- Mama to two earth walkers & two angels.

Paris has always referred to herself as "me" when pointing to photos, but knows her name etc, she quite often will say her whole name, Paris Harmony Taylor.
Ayja, up until recently, used to call Paris "Pa-is" co-incidently - Ayja is the only one who says her name correctly 24/7. She always gets the "jah" sound in her name. I love that she says her name right, when even we get lazy when we say it fast and it ends up sounding like the country all the time. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

I've only heard Ashleigh say her name once - Ashy. But whenever we show her a pic of her and ask who it is, she says "you" as we have always said "look, its you" lol! So now we are saying "look, its me", hopefully she'll click on soon lol! ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">
