Zooey Deschanel’s little girl may only be one year old, but she already knows what she wants when it comes to food.

The actress has revealed the very first words of her baby girl Elsie Otter, during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and they’re music to every foodie’s ears.

“My husband taught her how to say cheese just ’cause she likes cheese so much,” Zooey told the host.

“This morning, I went in and it’s still dark in her room and she’s wearing her little jammies…and she goes, ‘More… cheese!'”

“I’m like, ‘You didn’t even have any cheese and you want more?'” Zooey joked.

Zooey says it was her husband Jacob who taught Elsie the cute word.

The New Girl star revealed the word was among Elsie’s first, along with bubble, mama and dada.

Jimmy Kimmel laughed, saying “Well, that’s all you need to know!”

She also revealed that her bub’s sleeping patterns have been taking its toll on her and her husband Jacob Pechenik.

“Jacob might be more sleep-deprived but better able to function,” Zooey told E! News.

“I’m a better sleeper than Jacob, but I still am sleep deprived nonetheless,” she confessed, laughing.
