Vocab Fun!

My friend and I were talking yesterday on the phone and laughing at stories of our silly toddlers (Kenz and Lydia are only 10ish weeks apart) Love that about them but so sad they live in DC so we only see them a couple times a year.

It got me to thinking I have not shared a lot of milestones since Lydia hit her year mark and that is just too sad so here it goes. Her vocab skilllz.

Lydia is a TALKER, I have no idea where she gets it from ::looks at floor, shuffles feet, blushes:: I got in trouble for talking in elementary school, my husband says I could hold a conversation with a wall or even a tree stump.

Lately one of my favorites is that she talks with her hands, she will start chatting away about her day (in baby talk obviously, no coherent words or sentences) but she knows what she is saying and she drives hit home with a hand gesture or two. Cracks my stuff up.

She also loves the word Buh-bye. Look outside, see a car, buh bye. See keys in mom's purse, buh bye. Throwing away a dirty diaper, buh bye. Mom flushes the toilet, buh bye. Water going out of the tub, buh bye. See people walking on the street, buh bye. (unless they have a dog then it's doggie, doggie, goggie, goggie with a g when she gets excited)

She also loves the word Hi. I mean a loud enthuisastic HI will get me everytime. Everytime we walk into my Aunt's house for the day, she yells HI. She also says HI mommy every evenening when she hears me walk into the house. She will also say hello to everyone at church, while it's quiet, while father is bringing it home, and all is still and peaceful. HI, HI, HI, HI.

Mamaw, Papaw, baby, cookie, milk (milky), shoes, truck, nose, ears, hair, (we know a lot of the body parts from our neck up), two, tree (three). AND NO.

The girl does not know how to say yes or if she does she is simply not saying it because she has too much fun telling us no. I try and sneak a yes in there all the time to see if she will say it and she comes back with an enthusiastic NO. Are you ok Lydia, NO. Is that a dog Lydia, NO. Are we in the truck Lydia, NO. Did you have fun today Lydia, NO. Yes, NO, Yes, No, Yes Yes Yes, NO NO NO NO NO.

That is all for now, we have a talker on our hands and I love it so much, it makes me laugh to hear her simply talk her toddler talk. Girl is good for a smile from ear to ear after a rough day.
