These are the common words, but as we listen to her we hear words we missed all the time. She is still not very clear in the enunciation department, but she clearly only uses these sounds for specific things. She can also parrot back to you if say something to her a few times and ask her to say it. That was how we got change and diaper (only about 30 seconds of trying on my part and 3 attempts on her part and she had it).
