Ella is talking a lot now. Sentences. She has conversations with 'subachocake' her Strawberry Shortcake doll.
'I like the truck. Do you like the truck? I like the truck too. You wanna go truck? Ok!'
She likes my truck.

Yesterday Erin said Ella had another cute conversation with her dolll, 'Don't bonk your head!' WHAM! 'Don't bonk your head!' WHAM! (as she was hitting a chair with the dolls head). 'oohh, you bonk your head' (sad empathetic intonation).

She still never says yes. We've tried coaching her, but she still resists. Unless she's prompted she will usually only repeat what she likes and say no to what she doesn't like.
Dad: Ella do you want some more noodles?
Ella: noodles!
Dad: Do you want more noodles, yes or no?
Ella: No!
Sometimes she says no even when she wants something.
