Vanessa and her words

She has plenty to say but not too much is easy to understand.  Here are some examples of words she means to say but some out sounding differently:
Hug = hud
Pocket = pee-pah
Apple = app-oh
Sticker = stee-dee
Jesus = Dee-dah
Elmo = Melmo
Shoes = hu-ha (shoes on)
Fish = hish
Undies = unnees
Vanessa = Nessa or hessa or Yessa
Heavy = heddy
Flush = waf
Lid = yid
Legos = day-doh
Granola bar = bee-bah
Sleeve = weef
She likes say "c'mon!!" and drag me places.  She easily gets excited about going places and eating certain things and responds with a very enthusiastic "woohoo!!".
She has also enjoyed her "Jesus loves me" stuffed animal that sings, puzzles, coloring, having books read to her, hooking things together, scribbling on paper, putting on shoes, coats, and mittens all throughout the day, riding the inside trike (she figured out how to pedal and steer), the big big teddy bear, and getting m&ms for a poppy prize (pronounced "poopy hize") when she goes #2 in the toilet.  She has done excellent with potty training.  In undies during the day with almost zero accidents now, although she wets when she is napping and overnight.  I put a pair of training undies on her when out of the house just in case.  When using the toilet she insists on taking everything off to go (can't leave the pants around her ankles or legs at all or she won't go), so to avoid pants laying all over the house, I just don't put them on her at home. 

update on Vanessa (12/19/2012):

New words:

- mad! (if she sees something or a person with a what-seems-like-a-mad face)
- annoying!
