Words

It seems Riley starts saying a new word every day. Well at least every day for the last two days. Yesterday was Cracker (she says "ca-ca") and this evening it was Gecko ("gay-go"). She learned Gecko because we were reading a book about a gecko (Thanks Hilary!). My mom keeps saying I need to be writing these words down. How better to do that than here on this blog?

Here is a list of the words Riley can say (roughly in the order she started saying them):
Bye
Hi
Mama
Uh-Oh
Duck
Dog (sounds the same as "Duck")
Shoe
Banana
Night Night
No
Hello
Up
Go
Coat (sounds the same as "Go," so she might only know one of these words, as they are used at the same time)
More
Milk (sounds the same as "More")
All Done
Book
Cracker
Gecko

Some of these words are obvious to all (bye, hi). But some are still at the point where they can only be understood by those around her daily (shoe = "do"). Some are used frequently (banana, bye, no) and some have only been heard a few times (up, more).

It is so fun watching her learn!
