Can you say.....?

Emily has never been much of talker. She's been able to say words (aside from mama and dada) since about 12 months or so. But for the most part she has spoken in her own made up language and occasionally threw a real word in there and in the past few months she's used about 10 words or so to communicate things to us. I've enjoyed listening to her speak what we've dubbed Chinese. But I've been wondering when she would begin to say more. This past month has answered that question. Don't get me wrong, she's still not very talkative but in the past couple of weeks she has repeated me more and more. Now I ask her if she can say (insert word here) throughout each day. Usually she will oblige my request and it tickles me. I've ceased keeping up with the words she knows because it's getting to the point that if I ask her if she can say it she usually can. So, the list would get too long. She also babbles to me more and I can tell she's really trying to tell me something but I usually just stare at her in puzzlement. Eventually she gives up on me and moves on. One word she's been saying a lot lately is medicine (it's a little garbled but I can make it out). She had a runny nose a couple of weeks ago so I gave her some Benedryl and so now when she sees that bottle she requests it. She gets upset when I tell her no but what can I say, I can't feed her drug habit. :) She's starting to give up the fight though. Tonight she found the medicine once again and requested some. I said no and she handed the bottle to me without incident. Another word that I taught her yesterday was ketchup. Josh overheard her and said "that's blog worthy." Only because the man LOVES ketchup. Emily is getting to the point that if you dip it in ketchup she'll usually eat it (excluding foods that would be disgusting with ketchup on it of course). Looks like she might take after her father. The cost of buying for 2 ketchup fanatics is something I don't want to think about just yet.
