words, words, words

Sorry sorry sorry for not posting for so long. Frankly, Dalia has been so interesting, I've just forgotten to take photos/videos. Well, we did take a couple of videos the last two nights, but I lost the camera chord behind the stereo, so you'll have to wait. In the meantime, here's the scoop - Dalia is talking. Mostly she is incoherent, but clearly talking about something.However, between her signing, sounds and new words, we are happy to say we mostly know what she is talking about/asking for/needing all the time. We sat down and recorded all her words and it filled a page, only for her to add another word or two per day. Yesterday she started saying "yeah" to go along with her new head nod. Here are some of the words we can remember:

Mommy
Daddy
Pops
Gee Gee (grammy)
hi
bye bye
up
out
ball
bath
Archer
ow
go
walk
bubble
baby
Bama
yuck
happy
nope
all gone
that
cup

signs:
more
help
milk
water
pear
love
moon
love
sleepy

sounds:
chicken/duck (man I hope we can get this on video)
woof woof
meow
airplane/boat/truck
ocean
elephant
tiger/lion


Also, Dalia has a potty that she has successfully used a couple of times, and yes we have photos, but I promised my mother I wouldn't post them. She's also learning how to pour, which is what this photo of her with soy milk all over her is all about. She refused to let me put the lid on her cup after she got the milk in there. Well, some things we all have to learn the hard way.
