Vocabulary

Emma's vocabulary is booming right now. She seems to be learning new words everyday and she will repeat anything I say. She is also very polite. She says "thank you" unprompted pretty consistantly. I will hand her a drink and she says, "Thank you mama." It is so sweet. Every once in a while she will bust out a whole sentence of 7 words or so and I'm amazed. She tries to sing songs and even the ABC song. She only gets A, C and Z but hey, that's a start!

We have been having a hard time with please. She never says please unless I ask her today. Tonight she came up to me and said "Please, mama" while also saying it in sign language. I had no idea what she wanted though! She just said please. So I got up and she said "car!" Her car was stuck and she needed help so she said please. She's getting the hang of it!

I can't wait until I can understand everything she is saying. At this point a lot of what she says still sounds like gibberish to me. She is getting better everyday!
