I agree with you Fel. People are always amazed at V's vocabulary. She can say nearly anything and can talk in 3-4 word sentences (not habit yet but she tries) I attribute it to the fact that all she has done since she was born is sit and listen to me talk to her. Well, not just me, but me, hubby, and her 2 grown sisters who sometimes have to be reminded to be careful what they say in front of a 2 year old parrot. LOL
