Maggie's words

Maggie is still steaming ahead on talking. When we ask her, "What does a cow say?" she responds, "Moo". That is the only animal we have been able to get her to do reliably. Most of the time for the rest she just repeats the name of the animal. She is able to point out eyes and nose and sometimes mouth on me and herself! She is getting extremely good at repeating what she hears. Guess the time has come to be extra careful what we say. Any moment now her vocabulary will spurt even more. She has also taken to nodding recently. Sometimes it seems to mean a yes, sometimes that she likes something, sometimes just to bop along to music in her head. Hehe.
Sorry there is no new picture. I have been lax with the camera recently. I really need to get a video of her nodding. And, if I'm lucky some of her talking.

More please

When Maggie wants something she points at it and says more. I guess she associated us asking her "do you want more?" or even just saying "more?" and then giving her food into more meaning that she gets some. She has even expanded this from just food to other things as well, mainly the phone. I don't know if she really wants to talk to people on the phone, but I do know that she at least wants to play with the phone when she points and says, "more" (or more like "muh"). I felt that this needed to be chronicled.

She also says please now! Christopher says it, "pwes" or something along those lines, I'm not great at phonetics. If we are giving her something that she really likes I try to have her say please. It's been great knowing she's already got a manner or two!
