Emily seems to be making leaps and bounds where communication is concerned. Her cognition is high, though her vocabulary of 'words', if you can call them that, is still fairly limited:
'nononono' with a wagging finger, when she's caught doing something she's not supposed to (very amusing!)
'mama' (not sure if she knows it's me)
'dada' (she does seem to know I am talking about Nick but has never addressed him directly)
'i-o' (tick-tock for clock)
'yumyum' (but only on prompting so far)
'choochoo' (for train - and also sometimes trucks and buses)
'gorgor' (meaning cawcaw, for crow)
'beebee' (when she hears a beeping noise or car horn)
'brabra' (an attempt at brrmm brrmm for cars and lorries)
'oohooh' (monkey)
'baby' (because there is a picture of a baby on her yogurt pot, she also says it whever she sees any pot of yogurt)
'neenah' (police car or siren)
'kokogo' (Kokomo, the character used at KSpace classes)
'gar' (tiger, and also lions and bears)
'oof' (dogs)
'deetdeet' (tweet tweet)
'pehpeh' (when she sees a bird pecking, and she sometimes prods herself in the chest to illustrate)
She is obsessed with helicopters and aeroplanes, which we see often here, but trains of all type are her favourite right now, so I'm hoping she'll love the steam train when we go to Yorkshire.
