I just can't keep up with words Jeanne can understand anymore, as it seems she understands whole sentences, and even new phrases. One day, while sitting on our patio and sharing an apple, she kept coming back to me and spitting the skin into my hand. I discarded it. The third time, I said, "If you don't want to eat the skin, just throw it over the edge". I did not use a hand gesture when I said this. She turned around and put the skin over the side of the patio. I gasped. Those we all new words! I understand when she puts together words I repeat all the time like bath, car, TV, tree etc, but 'throw it over the edge' is just not part of our daily speech.
