She talks... She actually talks

We've come to realize that Abygail actually talks!! Among all her other 13 month old chatter it's hard to discern, but the words are there if you listen hard enough!!

Words you can actually understand in proper context:

Hot
Pat-pat (Little Einsteins)
Oreo
Mama
Buh-bye
Bath
Night-night
Daddy
Juice
uh- oh
Whoa


Sounds and utterances:

Shhhh (meaning Backyardigans or someone sleeping)
Grrrrr (growls back at Oreo or at Jay when she's mad at him)
Mmmmm (something she just stuck in her mouth is good, usually not food!!)
Ohhhh (finger pointing, something interesting)
Weeeee (something is swinging or sliding)
Whooooop (means hair being pulled up, sometimes other objects going up)
Lalalalalala
And she hums with the Little Einstein music most the time too!!

All these with the signs she knows and uses frequently:

Nurse
Juice
Please
More
Thank-you
Up
No
Down
All done
Eat

Seems to us to equal a talking child!! Though you often have to really listen and pay attention to her to get her full meaning of what she's trying to tell you! And if you don't get it... She'll let you know!!
