Abby's words that she says spontaneously and imitates frequently and consistently:
- up
- hat
- hot
- help
- stuck
- mama
- dada
- lacey
- all done (she doesn't sign this one much anymore it's just "ah duh")
- more (she sounds like a british person "mo-uh" in her sweet voice. we laugh because she'll see Brent or I eat something and she'll run over saying "mo-uh" without even knowing what it is we're eating just knowing that she wants some!")
- bath (sign is still present more than the word, but considering her love of baths, I see verbalization increasing soon and the sign fading)
- doggy
- monkey
- ooh-ooh (what a monkey says)
- hi
- bye bye
- coat
- shoes
- socks
- book (she requests every time we get into her carseat. she loves reading her books while we drive)
- open
- off
- all clean
- ball
- yes (or we get a head nod - and it's really cute when she nods her head)
- no (accompanied with head shaking and arm flailing)
- happy
- eyes
- car
Abby has this new affinity for getting on the couch and running back and forth on it slamming into the pillows/us/arm rests. She thinks it's hilarious and will do it over and over. And over. She always requests "up" when she wants to get up on the couch, but I've now caught her a couple times maneuvering herself to get up on the couch herself. Can you say "uh oh"?
