Dunking a chicken nugget

Emma has learned how to dunk chicken nuggets, french fries, and pretty much anything else in ketchup. I suppose it was only a matter of time! She also learned the word "dunk" quicker than almost any word she has learned to date.

On the subject of words, she is saying so many now it is hard to keep track of them all. Here's a partial list of all the words she knows now, at 15 months:

Dada

Mama

Dog

Abbi (pronounced "Abba".)

Jordan (pronounced "Doh-da".)

Emma

"Get down" (used when speaking to the dog.)

Up (pronounced "up-ah"... my personal favorite.)

Uh-oh

That (usually used when pointing to an object.)

Get (as in "I'm going to get you!")

Ouch

Look (pronounced "gook", and often said when she sees Mickey Mouse)

Nose

"Buckle up!" (pronounced "buh-buck")

Dunk

Ball

Pop

Book

Thank You (occasionally only, pronounced "tee-tee".)

Kitty (also pronounced "tee-tee".)

Donald Duck

Elmo

Emma has also learned to nod her head when she wants something (for example, if I ask her "do you want a drink?") and she dances now... both on the floor when you tell her to dance, or sitting in her high chair if she hears music, particularly Christmas music. She also knows what some more abstract concepts mean like "put it away", "get your boots on", "go find the doggy", or "it's time to take a bath". It's really amazing to see her learning so many things so quickly.
