Frances Speaks!

Frances has acquired a few more words, although I don't think anyone else can probably decode her right now. She is getting much better at communicating.

Dog was her official first word. She still says it. To that we add Mama and Dada.

She now has several words for Allison:

Da = Allison
See See = Allison
DA! = Allison
Ahhh wwl = Allison

Took us a while to work that out but it seems to be the case.

She's also acquired a discernible word for Tillie, her little pink bear. Tee tee.

So with all of those bases covered, she's now working on ways to get her point across. She can say no (and mean it). For yes, she shakes her head. In English, that means no but in Francesese it means yes. It's brilliant. Frances, are you finished with your dinner? No! Would you like some more? *Shakes head*. We're communicating! Without screeching! At the top of our lungs! O happy day!
