Vocabulary and other funny little things...

This is what Beth can say at the moment (it's not a very big list, but we're working on it) -

Mum (often said in fast succession when she is complaining about something or wants my attention, so it sounds like "Mumumumumumumaaaaaaa")
Daddy (sounds so cute when she says this ... sounds like "Dadeeeeeeeee")
Ta Tooo (Thank You)
Plee (Please - I think she said this, this morning)
Sit (often said whilst standing in the bath)
Up
Down
Upstair (she learnt this one today!)
Aaah (Vietnamese way of giving respect)
No Deal (courtesy of Phan... she actually does the arm crossing movement to match and says it frequently while watching the tv show "Deal No Deal"!)

She nods her head when she wants stuff and shakes it when she doesn't (and pushes you away too, just in case you didn't understand she doesn't want it!)

She makes a lot of noise for such a little person and knows how to point when she wants something and chats away incessantly... so I'm hoping more words start coming now.

She reached a mini nougat bar that was sitting on the edge of the kitchen counter the other day and brought it down and gave it to Phan to open for her! She is sooo cheeky!

When something is finished, she puts her hands to the side as if to say "All done/All finished"

Yesterday she learnt how to catch a ball... Phan and Beth were throwing/catching the ball for half an hour yesterday... so much that she worked up a sweat!

It amazes me how she has learnt to communicate more in a way that I can understand... (Although I still often get the "Ahhhhh!" with a sound of indignation/consternation when she wants get my attention...)
