these are all words she can say on her own,

hair, toes and belly button.

her understanding of words and objects is incredible

she will walk to her stroller, stop and say, "walk?"

after dinner when i ask her if she wants a bath she says,

"bah? bah?!" tugs at her seatbelt and runs to the bathroom after she's down.

when we tell her to give ezra kisses when he cries,

she runs over to him and gives him a big ol' smooch.

when we ask her to look for something, like the lid to ezra's bottle,

she hunts around the room looking for it until she finds it. 

she tried to clip olaf's fingernails for pete's sake!

when she sees cheese she says, "cheese!"

when she sees a cow she moo's.

when she sees a sheep she baa's. 

every time she sees an owl she says "ow-a!"

when she sees a banana she says, "nana!"

when asked what these animals say,

she responds with the cutest (and correct!) little noises.

cow. sheep. owl. puppy. kitty. piggy. 

elephant. froggy. monkey. lion.

she quit using her binkie and bottle in the same week.

she recently mastered climbing down the stairs.

she prefers running to walking.

outside is her favorite place to be.

she likes to pick up sticks and eat rocks.

she is so smart and so sassy

and i am so glad she is ours.
