She can say a lot of things, but her receptive language is what's really amazing. Recent examples: she understands "Time for your bath," "where are your shoes," "Dada is downstairs," "that's Mama's book," "please sit in your highchair," and much more.

She has also started stringing a few words together, mostly possessives; she likes to pick up each of our water bottles and announce who they belong to ("Juju wa!") while bringing them to us.
