I thought it interesting that she almost never says "no" (neh), although I know many kids say that a lot. She can say it, but usually just when she is reading a specific book ("No no, you say, that isn't right/ The pigs say 'oink' all day and night"). She does say "done" to mean many things, though. The "f/ph" sound isn't really working yet, so phone sounds more like"sun".
