Bea seems to pick up a new word every day now. We've taken to writing new ones on the calendar as we hear them in order to keep track, though sometimes it's hard to tell if she really knows a word or if she is just repeating interesting sounds back to us.

Here is a list of May words and phrases:
outside
oh, boy!
water
tickle
shoe
sock
yes

Other words in Bea's vocabulary:
star
high five
oh, no!
uh-oh
baby
up
pup-pup
woof!
duck
quack
milk
whoa
yay
moo
ooh, ooh (monkey noise)
all done
nigh nigh
more
no
kitty
hi
roar!
daddy
mom
