Abby is Communicating!

Abby is beginning to imitate our words and just recently, spontaneously use words to communicate her wants/needs.  Plus she is able to follow simple directions and it's so cool to watch! I'm loving typical language development.  It does make me sad sometimes knowing that some of the preschool children I work with are behind Abby in communication skills.  That makes me grateful for and not take for granted my healthy child. 

Signs Abby uses:
bye bye
hi
more
eat
sleepy
bath
milk
all done
open
blow kiss

Words  Abby says (rough approximations):
open
up
hi
bye bye
dada
mama
dog
uh oh
all done

I'm impressed...and she's not even 14 months old!  

Here's a quick video I shot tonight at dinner!
