Japanese words!

When Tesla started saying English words clearly, I put effort not just to talk to her in Japanese like I normally do, but to also point things out repeatedly with the intention of teaching her words. I started with 鼻　hana, 目　me, and 口　kuchi. That's nose, eye, and mouth. She picked up hana pretty quickly, saying "nana," and now points to the noses of various animals she sees in her books. She seems to relish pointing at my nose saying nana, then shoving her finger in my nose. Today, for the first time, out of the blue as we played silly on the sofa together, she said "me" (pronounced meh) while touching her eye! It's really amazing and thrilling to hear a new word come out of Tesla for the very first time. She got it!! Dav and I hear vocabulary dancing around the tip of her tongue combined in with fun babble. We sense that very soon an avalanche of speaking will come pouring out. It was one thing getting used to my baby walking vs. sitting there waiting for me to pick her up. It will be something else to hear her say her thoughts out loud. Wow.
