If you ask Ellie who the silly goose is, she will dutifully point to herself and say “sill goose”.

Ellie’s vocabulary of essential phrases continues to grow. While running around the house at top speed being a silly goose she may say “so fast” repeatedly. Or she may respond to you with an affirmative “okey dokey” or a “yes siree”. Sometimes she also says “ohhh! Daddy burp.”
