Words

One of the most frequent asked questions that I get lately regarding Little Jo is "Does she talk?". Well the answer is yes she actually says quite a few words now.

Words that an 18 month old Jo can say...

Hi
Momma
Daddy
Baby
Bree
Dog
She tells the dogs to, "Sit"
Cat
Hat (especially while wearing her Daddy's hats all around the house)

Duck
Quack for a duck
Moos like a cow
Says Ribbit for a frog
She can bark for a dog
Boo
Hide (which is always said in a whisper)

Ouch
Eye
Nose
Hair
Ear
Shoes
Ball
Eat
She recognizes the letter A and B and will say them
Please
It Stinks (said when you are changing her poopy diaper)
It's Stuck
Oh
Go
Dot
Buh bye
Where go?
Nana for banana
Momo for monkey
Si for yes
My all time personal favorite is when she counts to three, "Un, Da, Sve"
Her all time personal favorite, "No, no, no"

She still signs for us as well. She signs for eat, help, thank you, please, milk, and more.

If you tell her that you love her she always follows with a kiss. If you do not know what she is saying she will either come grab your hand and take you to what she wants or she will beckon you to come to her with her little hand out and palm up, curling her fingers repeatedly out and in. I think our Little Jo is coming along fairly well and she keeps surprising us every day with something new.
