Words

Add the following to the list of words Myla says: uh-oh, "ucky," shoe (always in triplicate, "shoeshoeshoe"), hot and hop (sound the same), hat, pizza, and paci. Nana and Pop also swear that she says "excuse me," but I remain skeptical.

There are many others that we think we've heard or that I'm not remembering right now . . . we're definitely in the phase where Myla's starting to put the pieces of speech and language together.

On the other hand, the list of words she understands seems limitless. She picks up new ones as they arise really quickly. As an example, she already understands lots of Christmas words, like Santa, snowman, and Christmas tree.
