too much

At the beginning of the summer travels, I had the keen idea to write down all the words that Posey knew. I wrote them down on a piece of paper (which is currently buried in my travel-trashed car) and i was astonished to count that she could say 16 words!!!! Things like:

mama

dada

no

peekaboo

bottle

nose

it's really sad that i can only remember 6 of those words. BUT. Here is why: She can say SO MANY things now! It's like someone took a tiny little key and unlocked the word box in her brain! She attempts to say anything she hears (even things within earshot).

Just yesterday she started in with phrases! Aaron came into the room and she said, "hey, Dada!" We just locked eyes and gasped and then cracked up! What!?! She is so smart!

So, here is a lame attempt to brainstorm on all her words.....here goes:

hi there!

oh boy!

oh wow!

oh wor! (oh my word!)

uh oh

chicken

KK (Kelly)

MiMi (Mia)

JJ (Jackson)

Eli

Nanny

Manny (Mandy)

Cameron

Wrhett (Rhett)

Dave

Skippy (we read SkippyJon Jones 8 times a day)

shoe

ear

eye

hi

hey

bye bye

cheese!

bubble

ball

baby

cracker

thank you

more

please

big

Well, that's a start! She also has become really good with her rhythm and she tries to sing songs! On the song, "Together We Rise," she waves her hands during the Oh, Oh, Oh part and then she pumps her fist in the air when we sing the we will rise bridge! It is one of the cutest things I have ever seen! On Yo Gabba Gabba, there is a song that tells you to so different actions and then freeze! Well, she moves her little feet around and then freezes! The freeze is amazing! She arches her back and sticks her hands out and her eyes get really big! She picked that up on her own. We had no idea what she was doing until we happened to see it on her video! Ha! She is a nut!

There are so many other things that she is doing and we are just having so much fun watching her do new things!
