<p>Gabrielle uploaded a video of Kaavia saying "bye-bye" on social media on Tuesday and later admitted that shunning the traditional first words of "mama" or "dada" just "says it all" about her tot's unique personality.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Speaking to People magazine, she said: "I thought saying 'Mom' or 'Dad' first was sort of natural, but then she started saying 'Bye,' which says it all. She's very much her own person. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>"We say 'Hi' and 'Hey' so she kinda gets that, she says that pretty OK. But when we leave her, we say 'Bye-bye,' and that's what stuck. And that's what is super clear. She's very articulate with the 'Bye-bye.' " </p>
