At 16mths, Mia's starting to use more words (sounds) now... let me try to recall some ; More, Daddy, Baby, Nenen, Cheese, Shoes, Juice, Book, Bear, Mummy, Mickey, Boots, Keys... there's more... (brain not working.... arrgghhh). Of course, most of these words are said 'baby-ishly', so signing while saying them really helps to emphasize the words she's trying to say.
What impresses me the most is; her ability to communicate her needs and wants specificly.. If she wants to watch Mickey Mouse, she'll tap her nose (signs for mouse) while saying "key", if she wants to watch Dora, she'll do the monkey sign while saying "Boo" (Boots - Dora's travel companion)... Talk abt being specific!!! Last time, before i labelled her cartoon shows, she would just point at the tv and had us playing multiple DVD's until we get to the one that she would like to see... Life is soooo much easier now...
