Chatty Maevy

It was just a couple weeks ago that I noted you were saying a lot of phrases. Now you are speaking in sentences, and you seem obsessed with pointing out all the words and objects you know. We don't always understand you, but here are a few we've recently deciphered.

Uh-oh, I dropped it!
Sit down Mommy or Sit down Daddy (This might be your first sentence. You figured out how to boss us around pretty early.)

The following three sound very similar-
Pillow
Window
Snow (We had our first snow of the season last week and it was on the ground for a couple days.)

Lights; more lights (You've known light for a long time, but you've had fun driving around with Daddy after school looking at Christmas lights.)

Colors- You've definitely got blue and green down. You know yellow, orange, red, and purple as well, but you don't point them out as often.

Shapes- I think you know most of your shapes, but you haven't started saying them yet. And all circles look a lot like balls!

One last story- The babysitter at the church nursery noted last week that you were very good at puzzles. I've thought this as well, and we should probably get you some more. Lately we've been spreading out all the puzzles on the floor. Then we have all the pieces in a pile or box. You pick them up one by one and place them in the appropriate puzzle. We have one puzzle with shapes and family members on the puzzle board. The oval piece goes on M, the triangle piece goes on Mommy, etc... Yesterday without even looking at the puzzle, you picked up the oval piece and said, "M!" I thought that was pretty smart.

We're looking forward to hearing what you say next and doing lots more puzzles with you! Love- Mommy
