LOTS of phrases!

DJ decided to talk more this weekend! He's really starting to put words together!

1. Mommy Sit.
On Friday night, he told me to "sit" and pointed at my chair (the banana chair). By Sunday, the phrase had changed to "Mommy sit" and point to where he wanted me to sit.

2. :person's name: Bye Byes.
Not this past Saturday, but the Saturday before, we were leaving for the grocery store, and DJ said, "Daddy Bye." It wasn't until Tuesday when I heard "Nory bye byes" from the back seat on the way home from Eleanor's house (Nory = Eleanor). This Saturday, DJ said "Daddy bye byes" and yesterday, he said, "Papou bye byes."

3. :person's name: Alk.
Steve figured this out. Alk = Walk. So when DJ put together "Daddy alk", Steve was compelled by the cuteness to go out for a walk with DJ.

4. More.
If DJ wants more of something, he's either used his sign for it or since the last what, month and half, he's been saying the word "More". So now he's compounded the phrase with someone's name e.g. "Mommy more" (to keep pushing him in the swing) OR he's adding a word at the end e.g. "More Nana" (more banana) or "More kwacker" (more cracker).

I'm trying to think of what the others are now, but I'm drawing a blank.
