I wanted to do a quick post with Emmy's current vocabulary. I'll probably miss a few things, but that's what updates are for, I suppose.
Mama
Daddy
Elmo (Eh-mo)
She can also name most of the other Sesame Street characters too, but doesn't ask for them by name.
Ernie (I can't phonetically spell it, but she has trouble with the "r" sound)
Bert (It's hard to tell if she means bert or big bird, here)
Big Bird (she calls him "bird")
Oscar (o-kar)
Cookie
Zoe
And she says hi to Dorothy (Elmo's pet goldfish) at the beginning of Elmo's World. (Hi, Doorty) And this morning, I'm pretty sure she sang part of the Elmo's World theme song (the part where it says, "That's Elmo's World."-- she missed the "world" but got the rest).
She says "hello" when the phone rings, bringing her palm up to her ear
She says "night-night" at bed time.
She brings us her shoes and says "outside" when she wants to go outside. She says "shoe."
When she wants to taste what we're eating she says, "Bite?" (Which is neat, because I would always offer her a bit of my food and ask, "Do you want a bite?")
She likes to eat:
Crackers (cackers)
Cheese
and Bananas (nana)
After eating, when she wants out of her high chair, she says, "Want Down."
She knows our black cat is named Maddie, and if I call "Maddie," Emmy will echo me.
She's getting close to repeating "car-ride,"and she's almost got "blueberries."
She knows what these animals "say": (Emmy, what does a cow say? Emmy: "Moo")
Cow says "moo"
Horse says "nay"
Lamb says "bah"
Goat says "bah"
Kitty says "meow"
Doggy says "oof-oof"
Bird says "twee"
When she is impressed by something, she says, "Whoa."
When she slides, swings, or gets twirled, she says, "Whee!"
She knows these body parts (and can point to them) and can say the starred ones:
Eyes*
Ears
Nose*
Hair
Mouth
Tongue
Hands
Arms
Feet*
Belly
And she says "brush teeth" after her bath, so she can play with her Elmo tooth brush.
Also, it's not a word, but when you say, "I love you," she makes a kiss sound.
I think that's most of them. I'm sure I'll remember more later.
