She Says, No. 4

"Pop!!" she says, laughing, as I squeeze her hard.  And then, "Moe!"  She wants me to squeeze her until her head pops off...time and time again.  I love it, and I think it is making her even better at giving hugs.

"Essss" became "Des" and is now a clear "Yes!"

While she was unwilling to even attempt Cortlan's name for a long time, he is now "Doh Dah!"  Today in the car, I actually knew what she meant when she said, "Dee duu doe Doh Dah!"  Can you guess?  (Here you go, Cortlan!)

She loves to tell you what an elephant says, with a hand gesture and all.  And yesterday we had a nice discussion about whether elephants are big or little.  She has a hand puppet elephant that she calls "lillel" but she knows that real elephants are "bigg!"

She recently learned that the chair she sits in for dinner used to be her big brother's.  Now at dinner, she explains, pointing to each chair, "Daddy sit.  Mommy sit.  Doh Dah sit.  My sit."  And pointing again at her seat, "Doh Dah sit lillel."  That is where Cortlan sat when he was little.

She begs for books at bedtime.  She thinks a lot of things are "heaby"  (heavy).  She loves her hat and her coat.  She loves making pretend cookies and playing with the "choo choo."  She gets new words every day and it is awesome to listen to her figure it all out. 

I can't wait to hear what she has to say next.
