She says a lot of things now. Real sentences.
One thing she can't do yet is really handle personal pronouns.

Examples: Melissa is telling her she can't climb on the chair. Leila:
"I can't talk" - which means Melissa can't talk.

Or Melissa is taking Leila to bed.
Leila:"I can scratch back" - Melissa should scratch her back!

Or Melissa is singing.
Leila: "I can't sing!" - she wants Melissa to stop singing.

Probably a few times melissa has said to her "Shall I scratch your back?" or "Are you saying I can't talk?" - and she just applied that to her sentences. Language and learning is fascinating!
