Elise has a lot of words now. She's a great copycat, but she doesn't always remember those mimics long-term. When she does remember a word over and over again, I'm so proud of her.
Her sign language words are hi/bye, milk, more, food, bath, potty, and brush teeth. She made up her own little sign for "phone"-- everytime (and I do mean EVERY TIME) she hears a phone ring, she pretends she is putting a cell phone to her ear and she says, "Hi!" Also, she blows kisses. And if you say, "How old are you?" she'll hold up one finger.
Elise's spoken words are hi, milk ("mill"), mama, dada, up, no no, banana ("nana") and more. She's working on "baby," "kitty cat," and "gentle gentle" but I think only I would know what she's saying at this point.
If you ask Elise, "What does a ____ say?" she knows cat, cow, snake, monkey, and sometimes she gets dog.
Elise loves to talk. She has lots of cool baby babbles that aren't real words but they sound like they could be. I wonder if they mean anything to her, or if she's just experimenting with sound.
Babies are cool.
