Some Laurenisms:

"Mamba" is the new word for "Mama"

"Uh-oh" whenever she spills or drops anything.

"Na na na" is Nonnon, and she says this whenever the phone rings since she talks to my mom on the phone several times a day.

"Nap" when she wants a nap. She used to say "Map", as in "Map, Mama, map!" but now it's "nap, Mamba, nap!"

"Git dat" for "get that", said to herself when she crawls towards something

"Jake" or "Juh...ACHE!" for Jake

"Buht" for Bert the cat

"Gee" for Grandpa

"Daddy", "Dad", or "My DAHdee" shouted for her Daddy

"boo" for "book" as in "Git dat boo, Gee"

"yes" "uh huh" "oh yeah" to affirm things. She said "yes" the other day when I asked if she wanted a cookie.

"hat". this one is in a very clear voice and we didn't teach her the word, she just picked up on it.

"shit" once in response to "do you have a poopy diaper?" (like "no, mamba, it's SHIT!) and she also said it again last night when I was at the front door with my arms full of packages plus her, and had to fumble for my keys, and dropped a bag.
