Lil' Miss Chatterbox

I am in LOVE with being a Mommy!!

While chasing after a 13 mo old is exhausting...Mommyhood has never been more fun! She’s a little sponge, just soaking up every little bit of information she comes in contact with. It’s time Mommy and Daddy really watch what they do and say :)

Her newest words..."nana" for banana. We were at Aunt Carlene’s and she pointed to the sky and said "airplane". We were all shocked!! When we’re driving down the road, she’ll say "go, go, go". She’s perfected "ba bye" and "ni ni" for nite nite. We sat down to read one of her favorite books and she points to the front cover and blurts out, "Elmo". I was like..."ROY, DID YOU HEAR THAT?!?!" Haha! She says "baba" for bottle and is now starting to say "daddy" and "mommy". If she wants to know what something is, she says "dat", which I’m pretty sure is supposed to be "that".

She can point to her ears, toes, legs, belly button and sometimes her nose and mouth when she really wants to. When she sits and "reads" a book, she points her finger and follows the words. She’s starting to get a hang of shapes and the whole square peg, square hole thing...we’re still working on it. Ducks and books continue to be a couple of her favorite things.

I’m just constantly amazed at how quickly she learns and how fast she’s growing up. She is my beautiful little girl, and I’m so proud to be her Mommy. Yes, I know I’m going to have my hands full as she grows up...Lil’ Miss Chatterbox...she’s just too much like her Daddy ;)
