New Words

I've started keeping an Excel spreadsheet listing the words and signs Mia uses. I'm not trying to pressure her, it was just getting hard to keep track of what she said, which I need to report to the speech therapist every week. Besides that, I was on an airplane and I got bored.
We are thrilled to see that Mia is signing a lot more, including: eat, drink, more, all done, thank you, ball, and the newest sign, drum roll please... mommy :). She also has some sign approximations, including yes, no, help, and cookie. Mia now says 8 words (pronounced correctly) and about 20 more word approximations. This week we heard several new words, including apple and hippo (yes, we were reading one of those Sandra Boynton books). New word approximations include hair bow and headband.
