The baby is one today. She has two words: "hi" and "uh-oh."
"Uh-oh" is my favorite for it signifies result (I just did something naughty), ongoing action (I'm doing something naughty) and, best of all, intention (I'm thinking about doing something naughty).
This third, I'm thinking about doing something naughty, is supremely useful. I can turn my head or leave the room, hear an "uh-oh!" and rush to prevent the next small disaster.

Books, food, friends, and Virginia Woolf. "I spare you the twists and turns of my cogitations, for no conclusion was found on the road to Headingly, and I ask you to suppose that I soon found out my mistake about the turning and retraced my steps to Fernham."--Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own

Uh-oh was always one of my favorites...until they got older.
Looks like "uh-oh" will soon have another meaning: summon Mommy!
