Speaking of words. . .


Francesca Margot has quite the vocabulary. Of course, her comprehension is fantastic, she can understand pretty much whatever you'd want to say to her. And she can say the following words:
Up --(very clear, this is among her latest words)
ball -- (ball-ball, but sometimes the "l" is not so apparent)
water -- wah-wah mostly but the "ter" comes sometimes
all done -- arguably her first "word"
bebe -- Daddy has heard this more than mommy
poo -- also a recent addition to the spoken vocabulary, mostly while on the potty
da -- this is a common sound but lately it very clearly means "yes"
bah-bah -- we have no idea but it is clearly something specific. Maybe milk?

And finally, this just in the last few days... she says "Na-na" to mean herself. It's kind of like Nana Brooke but the two syllables are the same exact sound, so NOT "NAN-uh" but Na-na, like the first part of "NAN-uh" twice.

Signs for yes and no, more, please and milk are quite common too.

PS I forgot she also says, Whoa!

She uses it accurately as an exclamation of surprise not a command to make an animal stop, (which is worth 10 pts).
