Yellow...?

Molly is getting better at communicating, learning new words and definitely understanding a lot more as well. She almost always understands what we're asking her to do (whether she does it is another matter). For instance, she fetches her own towel before bath time and she (sometimes) picks up her toys if you ask her to.

As for talking, she says "Muh" for milk, "Dawg" for dog, and "Dow" for down. "Dow" also means up, too, in her little kid logic. She is also increasingly interested in our cat Chippy, who she calls "Shishi." She's constantly pointing to Chippy, trying to pet her or pick her up, and always demanding that she get down off the dining room table if we're eating there. She's a better disciplinarian about that issue than we are!

Her other very common word is "yellow." Now, she has no idea about colors, and she's definitely not referring to anything yellow when she says it. From what I can tell, it's a further evolution of the word "elbow." She's loves pointing out elbows, and for a long while she pronounced it "bubow." But that seems to have evolved to "yellow." So... someday soon, the actual word "elbow" will come out. Or maybe she'll just start describing yellow things as "elbow."
