Words

C has been diligently responding to "Tha". Whenever she has something, that she does not mind parting with, she comes towards us and hands over the stuff. But if she does not want to give that, she would walk around as if she didnt understand the meaning.
I also taught her "Thank you" after receiving the stuff. So, she tries to say it "Thaku". Not sure if she understands the meaning. Especially because, "Tha", "Thank you" and "intha" are similar and must be confusing. I use the "intha" to give back her stuff to her after uttering Thank you.
Sad thing is that she has forgotten the word "Dai". This was her trademark and she used to shout this work whenever she gets angry. That seemed as if she understood the meaning of "dai". That was really cool. But later when we tried to teach her Hi and Bye, she lost touch with Dai and only uses Hi now. Sometimes she initiates a canon of "Hi"s while playing with Daph. Which is also very interesting...elated moments of parent hood. While playing the canon, if we utter two "Hi"s in sequence continuosly, C cannot follow that, for some reason. But if we give one Hi (which in fact is more like "ey") at a time, we promptly get that back.
She is trying hard to say "Appa" and sometimes manages to do it. Most of the time, it ends with "Ap"
