I was amazed that yesterday Jillian said 3 new words.  She said: turtle, owie and help.

So today I wanted to counted them.  I keep track of the words and signs she says on a calendar type page on our fridge.  I also write down special/fun things she does too.  (I keep one for Wesley too).

As of today Jillian says 20+ words and has 24+ signs.

Here they are in no particular order…

Words:

  1. Nando – short for Hernando
  2. turtle
  3. owie
  4. help
  5. all done
  6. night night
  7. ball
  8. goodbye
  9. hi
  10. ma – which means more
  11. mmmm – which means milk
  12. mama
  13. dada – which was her first word
  14. meow – what a cat says
  15. cat
  16. nana – and sometimes banana
  17. duck
  18. tada
  19. go – we say ready, set and she says go
  20. bubble
  21. thank you
  22. And I am sure I am forgetting one/some

Signs:

  1. eat
  2. milk
  3. drink
  4. elephant
  5. frog
  6. monkey
  7. bird
  8. duck
  9. cow
  10. cat
  11. horse
  12. flower
  13. banana
  14. help
  15. owie/hurt
  16. bubble – she made this one up on her own.
  17. thank you
  18. fish

  20. goodbye
  21. hi
  22. please
  23. more

    when you say “signs” is that sign language?

  2. Amber says:

    Yes. We have been doing baby sign language with both her and Wesley. Now that Wesley is older – he will ask me how to do a sign. It is super cute.

  3. Jen says:

    That is SO incredibly awesome!!

  4. Kathleen/Yaya says:

    Well, I also happen to know she says Yaya. She might not know what it means, but she says it, and that’s good enough for me! It is amazing to me how fast she is growing and changing. Great big kiss to you all.
