Words!

Miss B hasn't be very quick to talk. In fact we just had her evaluated last week after putting it off until we moved. She had maybe 5 words then. All of a sudden she's got a ton! Off the top of my head she says:

hi
bye
momma (omg! makes me cry! she said daddy for the longest time but no momma)
daddy
dog
bird
snow
Elmo (or really, "mo")
bowl
light (dight)
eye
nose
hand
baby
bath
butterfly (comes out as bye-eye)
night night
yes
book
ball
no

Wow! It's even more than I thought now that I list them. She hasn't been very receptive to signing, either, even though I started teaching her at 6 months. She's a funny little bugger, too. We have conversations like this:

"Did you toot?"
*nods* "Doot!" (She hasn't said "doot" since, so I don't count it as a word.)

Cracks. me. up!

My youngest niece exploded in words last week too!! It blows my mind how quickly they pick things up!!!

I need to meet B someday. Of course then I would get to meet you too!!

How exciting! Charlotte tosses out a surprising new word every now and then, but doesn't repeat them so we're left wondering if we imagined it or if she didn't realize she was saying a "real" word. Having a conversation with your daughter... is that the greatest or what?!
