AW: Avery's new words
I think we're entering the "Language explosion" everyone promised me. In the past week Avery has started SAYING a ton of stuff. I know these are still pretty "easy" words - but I don't care at this point - she's SAYING them, whereas before she would just sign or be silent.
- "Thank you" - and signing for it - and using it without being prompted. She has always said "Danka" (thanks MIL) but usually we always had to prompt her. Now when we give her something, she signs and SAYS "Thank yee".
- "Bye Bye" - this isn't huge but she used to only wave, never talk - now she does both!
- "more Milk" - and sign for milk at the same time. It sort of sounds like "mama" but with the sign, we know what she means.
- "Oma" (she actually says "moma" but we'll take it)
- "Bubbles" - before she would just 'blow' like she was blowing bubbles.
- "Boobies" (Thank you DH)
- "Booty" - (again, thank you DH) - and she has to pat our booties. Its embarrassing but she's talking so I will be excited about it!
- "Push" - in regards to pushing the door closed, and wanting to swing
- "ON" and "Off" in regards to putting on shoes and turning lights on and off
- "Move" - when she's yelling at the dog to "move" - poor dog - he'll be laying in the corner and she runs over to him and yells at him to move...
- "March" - MIL will march with her around the house - now it's all about marching
- "Bumble bee" - she actually just says "Bumble" (with the "M" sound) but she clasps her hands together (the baby bumble bee song) while she does it
- ETA: "Bye Bye Pee Pee" - she's been really interesting in watching me go to the bathroom lately - and when we flush, she will say "bye bye pee pee"...
And she will yell at the dog or cats when they are noisy...nothing like hearing a toddler 'cuss' out your animals.
She is also starting to just be more and more verbal - and much more communicative. This makes me so so so so happy. Such a relief!

Re: AW: Avery's new words
That is great! Go Avery!
I can't wait for K to start talking more. Right now it's all about MaMa, Dada, Lilly (our dog) and she also says "dye dye" for bye bye. But I love the sound of new words. Nothing like it!
