mo' riz

New words:

136. Andrew (Miss Angel's older son; Miss Kayla's younger brother)
137. popper
138. Mamie (Maman's maman)
139. main (hand)
140. riz (rice)

We had Indian takeout for Nathalie's birthday dinner, and apparently Nathalie didn't give Benjamin enough basmati rice, as he indicated by chanting "mo riz! mo riz! mo riz!"

So riz is a word I've only heard him use in 2-word combination.

I also heard a very gratifying 2-word combination when I gave him some papadum: "Merci, Papa."
