New Words, made up words & signs

I have a few new words and a whole pile of crazy madeup conversations that I have earnestly with ma and pa, I just don't get why they cant understand me! In english I can now say: hi, hello and I am trying to say dog or doggy.

I understand most of what Mum and Dad say now, things like: "Rubens, can you see the squirrels?" I can say yes and point to them. I also know when people say 'hello what a cute baby' to me, I say 'hi' and 'goodbye'. I really like saying hi and goodbye to everyone, sometimes I do this on the street car when no one is talking to me so I can meet new people.

I am pretty good at my sign language now too. I can say more, and bottle. When mum asks if I am hungry using signs I use the same sign to show that I am. Mum has made a few signs up like "bottle" and "we're all done" which I use to ask and tell her when I want a bottle or when I have had enough veggies.
