McKenna's vocabulary has doubled in the past month. Beginning of May she was saying a few over 50 words. Today she is saying over 110 words and even putting two or three words together. She is very big on asking, "What's that?" or "Where daddy go?" While she probably understands most of what she is saying, sometimes I think she just repeats what she hears Keaton say and then she receives so much praise for talking she repeats over and over.
I love to hear McKenna say, "Sawee" for sorry, "tank ewe" for thank you, "peas" for please" "teeton" for Keaton, "damn awe" for grandma. She has a super cute little voice and she is so proud of herself when she talks. The difficult part is that sometimes talking causes her to retch. Not sure if it tickles her throat the wrong way or what, but it's so sad.
McKenna is starting to get more into books and today started trying to say a few of the words she had just heard read. We have been working a little with flashcards, and also trying to identify more stuff when we are being quiet and encouraging McKenna to repeat. She has to be in the right mood to agree to repeat.
Everyone says girls talk your ears off, so I am not in a rush to get her to talk, just want her to be able to communicate when she needs to. smiles.
