"Tucks" and other big words

I've been waiting to post until I could download a few pictures, but I don't think my parents' computer is reading the memory card, so I doubt I will have downloaded pictures anytime soon.

About two weeks ago, Willa and I were walking around the neighborhood and she saw the neighbor's cat and mooed at it. She has never really attempted any animal sounds at all before (though she could also do ducks). I said "meow" and then Willa meowed at it. From then on, she started roaring and making whatever animal sound we asked for whenever we asked. It was like she just decided to go for it. Since we've been in Utah, her language has just started exploding and she's finally at the point where she is experimenting and trying new words every day.

Her favorite words are tucks (trucks) and cars. She loves cars very much and can tell the difference between her toy trucks and her toy cars. She has been saying so many words out of the blue, it is so fun. We were looking at pictures from the summer and she pointed at the swimming pool, said "pool" and then pointed to the backyard. She says park, car, seat, cart (for grocery cart), ready set go, lots of animal sounds, and a whole bunch of words that I can't even keep track. When I say a word, she tries it out and experiments making the first letter sound. It is very cute and adorable and HELPFUL! The other night in the bathtub she yelled "Mommy!" and started pointing to her basket of bath toys. I asked what she wanted and she said, "Cars?!" Normally, there are a few play cars in the bath toys, but they weren't in there that night. I was able to say, "Oh, you want some cars? I'll go get some!" I sure love my girl!
