Words Words Words

It seems that 14 months is a time when toddlers often pick up new words. I thought it would be a good exercise to try and remember what words Ani is saying, what she is signing, etc. If I don't write it down now, I will never remember.

So,

words she can say:
Bah (ball)
Daw (dog)
on
on (sometimes it means again)
awlp (help)
MMMMoooore (more)
moo
Neigh
Daddy
yesh (yes)
nnnnoooooh (no)
nnnnooooh (nose - I know, it sounds the same as no, but the z sound isn't there yet. this is usually accompanied by pointing at her nose)
Ah dun (all done)
AAAAHHHHHHH (I am very frustrated right now!) - ok, so that isn't a word. But she is definitely using this one very often and trying to communicate so I felt it belonged here.

words she can sign:
more
light
milk
water (she can't actually do this sign yet. BUT, when I do the sign she makes a very specific hand motion not at all the same as mine, which I believe is her attempt to do the sign. So, she can sign water, but it is just a sign she has made up on her own)
food
please (this one is adorable - usually very emphatic and done with both hands, just in case mommy isn't getting the hint)
shoe
all done

Hope you have enjoyed the vocabulary update.

And finally some pics.

Ani and her little buddy playing with water in the bathtub. Aren't they adorable?

Its music day! Heart and soul anyone?

Why all 1 year olds should have a Dog

1. No need for Mommy to sweep after meals
2. someone who will eat the asparagus when you don't want to
3. there's always a friend to cuddle with, even if he doesn't like it and growls
4. there's always someone to follow around the yard
5. a buddy to sleep under the crib and chase away monsters
