Oh the Things Toddlers Say

Everyday Lily is saying more and more.  It is very rare for her to not be speaking in sentences of at least 4 words.  While I understand most of what she is saying there are still times when she will be jabbering on about something and I am completely lost.  Unfortunately those are the times when she typically ends whatever she is saying with "Okay?" and I never know if I should say yes or no because I have no idea what I would be agreeing to.

There are times when she says things that are just absolutely hilarious.  For example the other day she was playing with her stuffed pig and bunny.  She turns to me and in a very serious voice says "Piggy sad".  I respond with "Oh no, why is Piggy sad?".  She says, "Bunny tooted and it stinky".  I really had no idea what to say to that.

She has also started to recognize some letters thanks to this amazing puzzle that I found for her.  Every time she finds all the letters for a word she asks me to spell it and points to each letter and repeats them after me.  There are a few that she gets on her own including "t", "g", "k", and sometimes "n".  She also knows "me" and "double me" aka "u" and "w"!  Every time she points to one of them and I say either "u" or "w" she repeats with "me" or "double me".  It is really cute.

Evie is growing up so quickly.  She loves being down on the floor trying to crawl.  She can't get up on her hands and knees yet, but she can turn her body around if she wants to get to something that is a different direction (she kind of pivots on her belly).  She also loves being in her excersaucer.  I think she doesn't want to miss a thing that is going on so she loves that she can be upright and looking about in that thing.  She is gaining so much more control of her movements and will purposely grab for, and hold on to, toys.  Evie also loves grabbing her toes.  Evidently feet are the most interesting and hilarious thing ever.  The other day she kept holding on to her feet and staring at them and then would start laughing.  Lily and I would then also start laughing which would make Evie laugh more.

I am making bins to organize the girls' closets.  This is the first completed one and I am quite happy with it, especially since it was originally just a diaper box!
