Chatterbox

I'm not sure how many words Mia is supposed to be able to say, but I think she's doing pretty well. Whether she is saying many coherent words or not, she has become quite the talker. 90% of it is in her own language, although when you can't understand her, she looks at you like you peed on the carpet. Here is a list of words (in the English language) that she says on a regular basis...in varying degrees of annunciation.

Hi
Hey - she's very social
Hello - mostly only when "answering" her cell phone
Thank You - I'm not sure she knows what it means, but she knows to say it every time you give her something
Bubbles - her favorite activity
Hat
Ball
Doggie - occasionally comes out like dada, but she's always much more excited to see a doggie.
Mama
Dada
Row Row - the opening verse of Row, Row, Row your boat
Elmo - which comes out much more like Melmo
Uh Oh - this apparently is her response to dropping anything

Now, on top of the words she can say, she can generally completely understand what you are saying to her. You can ask her 'take something to mommy' and she'll gladly oblige. You can ask her if she wants to watch Sesame Street and she'll clap and go over to the TV. However, through all this mastery of the language, she apparently cannot yet understand 'No' or 'You can't have any more cookies'...I have a feeling she isn't going to learn either of those things any time soon.
