making sense of jibberish
Well as we inch nearer to the age of two, everyday sure gets more interesting. I love hearing new words that she adds into her vocabulary in fun ways. I love to see her little personality develop, as well as her interesting fashion sense. Today as we were eating lunch she was talking in jibberish as well as adding in random words and sounds, just as she would do when talking on the phone. But she kept saying na-na. Now I should have picked up on it sooner but for some reason it just wasn't clicking as to what she was saying. So I told her that I didn't understand what she wanted.Quickly she leaned back and pointed in the kitchen and said "peek a boo, I see you na-na."
I couldn't stop giggling as I asked her if she wanted a banana, with a big smile she replied, yes peease.
I could hardly believe what had just happened, after all of the single words that she had been saying for quite some time, she had chosen the perfect way for me to understand her in that moment...Houston we have communication that not just a parent would understand. What a fun little way for her to express to me her needs. I wonder what she will say to me when she starts wanting really big items from the store?
***Kelly fun fact of the day. Kelly has a memory like a steel trap. It is very solid and always working. She remembers dates, numbers, and fun details that make her sharing a story really fun. She is one of those people that can remember the anniversary of the day she and her husband started dating, or from when they got engaged. She is great with birthdays, and important dates of friends and family members too. If ever I was working on my birthday she always had a surprise gift waiting there for me. Thanks. I know that I struggle to remember a lot more things than just important dates, that makes me even more appreciative of your amazing memory. I tell you what if it weren't for post-it notes I don't know where my memory and I would be today.***

I love the jibberish! Sometimes I feel like it's such a game and that inside they are laughing watching us trying to figure out what they are saying! And I wanted to tell you again thank you for the "fun fact" of the day! It was the best present anyone gave me this birthday...and don't you worry dear friend my "fun facts" for Lonna are already compiling for one special week in July!!
Congratulations on getting Gwen to say please. That is a word Eric will not say!
That is too cute. I would love to get her and B together and see what kind of conversations they have :)
i love it when they start to talk and you can understand it! i'm still waiting for that moment with tyson.
ahhh, how have I missed 3 posts! I'll tell you how, I've been sucked into the crazed frenzy of the Twilight books. I know, I know I told not only myself but everyone else that I was never going to read them, but I was tricked into reading them on monday and now I'm almost done (it's hard juggling hours of reading with work babysitting, meetings, eating, sleeping...)
Anyway, sorry I've slacked on your posts, but I love them anyway. Nothing is cuter than a chubby baby. Seriously have you seen the skinny chicken legs that some babies have? They look like aliens.
Also, you're stressing me out that you have your taxes done. We don't even have Taylor's W2 yet and now that my accountant (my brother Jared) has moved to Vegas, what's a girl to do?
Last but not least, Gwen is a genius. Taylor needs to take lesson from her on communicating. Most of the time I can not figure out what he's asking me for.
Life is so much better when you can get some 'real' clues as to what the child wants! She is sure cute!
love,
Syl
P.S. can't wait to see you all!
