Short ones, but still. Sentences like "Connie up please doll" and "Where Mommy? Where Daddy?" (last night, as Jenn and 'dul were out).
And you know what I've realized? She is a very clear speaker. I mean, some kids, you only understand them if you know them well, but her! Other than her habit of saying "k" or "g" for "st" (so stroller is GUH-guh, for example), she's pretty easy to understand. The other day, she asked me to pick her up so she could play with the giant connect 4 game at the museum (I did for a while, but then just brought over a chair so she could get up and down herself) and she went "UP!", so I, naturally, said "What do you say?", prompting a random kid volunteer to try to helpfully tell me "She wants up!"
We're working very hard on not just saying things like up or cup or down, and then saying please when prompted. Instead, the idea is that she says up please or cup please or down please or whatever as a full phrase. She's actually catching on pretty quick.
