Cookie, bunny and soss

I found the following in an old notebook dated 14 Feb 1995.

Savannah's Vocabulary

It all started just before Christmas.   Savannah started saying cookie quite clearly.   She has asked for hundreds of cookies since that tome and now she has she begun for form phrases, "Na-night Haylee", "juice all-gone".   This note tis document her vocabulary, as we understand it today.  We have deciphered:

cookie            jacket              sit              da da             ma ma            hat           baby          outside
ba ba              juice               all gone      more             Barbara          bye bye    Hayley      paci
shoe               bunny             em-m-m-m                      sock "soss"    kitty         uh-oh         no
doggie            ball                car               na-night       eyes               ear            nose

Lets not assume this is it!  She says lots of things we don't understand yet they seem consistent and in a pattern.  
Likely it is a language of her own - far beyond our understanding.   We look forward to sentences.
