Expanding vocabulary
Mandy's vocabulary has expanded to three words - she has uh-oh, pronounced "ah-hoe," mama and today we have added good-bye, pronounced "ga-bye." The only thing she knows about uh-oh is that it is appropriate when an object goes to the ground, so she uses it every time she throws one of her toys down. I'm really sure she knows mama is me because it's the first thing she says when she sees me after I've been out of the room for a minute. And the only thing she knows about good-bye is that people say it a lot.
I've wondered why she is not even attempting "daddy." I think it has something to do with the different ways he & I speak. For example, I'll say "mommy has to go to the bathroom," but he will say "I have to go..." That, in combination with the fact that I'm with her all day means she hears mama a lot more than daddy. But she certainly hears daddy more than good-bye, so there's no telling.
