More Words

I forgot a bunch of words last week: she says "Yeah", "No!" (of course) and "Ama" (her babysitter's nickname). Also "cuck" which is a cross between "duck" and "quack". I think there are more, but I can't remember them.

With her new spoken words has also come a resurgence of interest in baby signs. For a month or two she only used the sign for "please" which to her probably means "I want it / I want you to do this for me". Within the last week or two she brought back signs for "all done" and "more" as well as trying out "banana".

This week she totally stunned us by saying "apple" while also making the baby sign for apple, which is a new sign for her. Apple is her first real two syllable word. She also made one effort at saying "Abigail" but it wasn't particularly close.

AND, how could I forget? If she says "eye" you have to watch out. She is likely to poke you in the eye to prove she knows what she is talking about!
