A friend of ours wrote out the names of all the furniture and big household items and stuck the words onto them! I thought that was quite a good idea.
A 'game' I like playing (especially earlier when Felicity was just starting to learn to talk) was to hug her real tight, then she would be trying to escape, and I would say:
Me: "What? Felicity? What do you want?"
F: "Let me go!"
Me: "You have to ask nicely..."
F: "Can you please let me go, please!"
Me: "Who?"
F: "Can you please let me go please, Daddy!"
Then I'd let her go, and I would count to 3 to give her time to escape and run away before I would try to catch her and hug her again. Oftentime, she'd just hang around to be caught...
