"Tay too, mommy" and Other New Sounds

I need to play a little catch up on Mary and Garrett's developments!

Lately Mary is saying "Tay too" (thank you) for everything. If I hand her a goldfish, she says "tay too, Mommy." Sometimes she says, "Oh, tay too."
She is no longer saying "ghee". She says something more like "he go" for "here ya go."
She is frequently asking where people are. She asks for her daddy all day ("where daddy go?"). When her daddy gets home she gets really excited and screams Daddy! and runs to him. Then she kind of forgets that she had been wondering about him all day. If I try to escape to another area of the house, she finds me. Or I can hear her all around the house saying, "Where mommy go?" When she wakes up in the morning she asks, "Where g-mamma go? Where g-daddy?" She had a visit from her grandmother and granddaddy Fraley and she is wondering where they went.
If I scold her and say, "Mary, no! Don't touch that." She responds by saying, "No! Stop!" She loves to tell me to STOP!
She has started saying "happy" and "scary."
She loves the Teletubbies, whom she affectionately calls "Bubbies."
She calls outside "side" and she wants to go "side" all the time. She likes to wear her snow boots and tromp around.
Perhaps the most idiosyncratic of all of Mary's expressions right now is "Bye-bye! See you!" She does it all the time. She says it to people at the grocery store, to waiters, to her shows (Bye-bye show! See you!") to anything that she leaves behind. When she's ready for bed she says, "Bauble of nilk! Night night. Bye bye see you."
Mary will pick up any telephone, which she calls a "hello", or anything that remotely resembles a telephone and start talking into it. She talks and talks and talks and talks! Then she signs off, bye-bye see you!
