Helen's speech seems to have just exploded in the last month. (She is 18 months old.) I can't really list all her words any more, because every time I turn around, she is using a new one. Some are clear, and some are not, but there is no stopping her now. Some of my favorites:
"Do-do-do" (Oh, how to capture the sound of that one in writing? Imagine the sound you would make if you were leaning casually against the wall, whistling idly, killing time. Strong emphasis on first syllable.) This one is especially fun because it means, "I want to nurse now." I have no idea why. She used it throughout July and August.
'Ide. This is how Helen now says, "I want to nurse now." It is clearly short for me saying to her "other side," but she doesn't seem to associate any sided-ness with the term - only milk.
