Communication

"Cut it." (talking about her food)
"More please." (talking about anything she wants)
"Too tight." (talking about her car-seat, diaper, shoes, etc.)
"One time." (while holding up two fingers) (she uses this for "one more time")
"Kiss, hug." (anytime she gets in trouble for hitting or grabbing sissy she'll say this while hugging and kissing P1)
"Bye-Bye (insert Daddy or Mommy or Sissy or Cady or Pat-Pat or Kevy or Poppy or SuSu etc.)

All of that in addition to "no" and her ability to repeat the last word of every question while shaking her head up and down, and Paxten Parker can communicate with us. (Please note: she has other two word sentences that she says, but these are the most common recently.)

We have also started giving her choices to empower her. I remember that working with Presley, but I don't remember having to start it when she was this young, but I may be wrong because I was not taking notes back then either.  Today she didn't want the diaper I was trying to put on her, but we only have one type of diaper, so I had to give her a choice of which diaper she wanted.  I showed her the front of one of the diapers and the back of the other one and let her choose, and she must have fallen for it because it worked!  I love my girl with the expanding vocabulary.
