So Many Words

Sydney is becoming more adept at communicating. While her caveman-style grunts and screeches have sufficed up to this point, we're starting to put our collective feet down about her moaning and groaning and forcing her to try to verbalize or use her sign language. It is working well as she is nearly in a constant state of needing and/or wanting something, so she's developing quite a vocabulary for a (parrot-like) 13-month old.

WORDS/EXCLAMATIONS
  • This
  • Jack
  • Dog
  • Mama
  • Dada
  • DON'T TOUCH (I suspect she thinks that the electrical outlets are called "don't touch." That's the only time she says it: while excitedly groping them.)
  • Nononono
  • Uh Oh
  • Whassat?
  • Woof
  • More
  • Bye-bye
SIGNS (usually accompanied by screeching)
  • Eat
  • More
  • Drink
  • Please
  • Done
  • Down
  • Kiss
