Vera Speaks

Sign language - she’s been doing these for a while and is pretty proficient.

·         More

·         Please  (she’ll now say this even when prompted with “what do you say Vera?”)

·         Thank you

·         All done

·         I

·         Love

·         You

·         I just pooped.  (Not official sign language, but she will stand a bit further away, poop with a funny face, and then walk back to Vicki or I and point to her diaper.)

Original verbal Vocabulary – as of about a month ago:

·         Mama

·         Dada

·         Uh oh

·         Baba (bottle)

·         Dat (cat)

·         Chssss   (this means cheese – it is said with urgency as lil’ V loves cheese. Especially Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar.)

·         This.  (usually indicates “I want this”, often said after breaking into the snack cabinet and walking over to us with a giant box or bag of some salty snack).

New additions we’re hearing in the past few days/weeks:

·         Pasta

·         Fire Truck.  (It was a little garbled, but she clearly said it in response to seeing the picture in the  book “baby things that go”.)

·         I love you.  (mostly mumbled, but the intonation is perfect and its obvious that’s what she’s saying)
