Next up: Conjugating verbs

Lexi's vocabulary is coming right along. Here is the list of words she knows (or the words that we can make out and know what she's saying):

• Up (when she wants you to pick her up)
• Hello (answering the telephone)
• Habari (Kiswahili for “How are you?”)
• Ball
• Bird
• Kwaheri (Kiswahili for “goodbye” – knows to wave when she hears it)
• Mama, Dada
• Mana (food)
• Key
• Car
• Me (when she wants something or more of something)
• Bye

Of course, Jane speaks to her only in Kiswahili as per our instructions, and Lexi probably knows many words in that language already, but we don't know what they are (it's clear that Jane understands what she's trying to communicate often).

Also, last week we noticed that Lexi started imitating words/sounds immediately after we said them, so our interactions with her are moving to a new level.
