Communication

As of yesterday, our "little punky" is 15 months. What fun! I thought I'd better give an update since she is growing and changing so fast.

Our lil J is an excellent communicator. I couldn't begin to tell you how many words she knows. Dozens. This past month she also started saying short phrases like 'thank you', 'bye-bye', 'nite-nite' etc. As of the past few weeks, she has added short sentences like 'where'd it go?' and 'there it is!' and 'see-you!' (later) and 'i got it'...I could go on and on. She also knows parts of several songs including "Happy Birthday" "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Old McDonald Had a Farm."

Language development is totally fascinating to me. It's amazing. I downloaded these (really poor quality) videos the other day. Jenna repeated everything she heard on the video (that she wouldn't say while I was recording). Stinker!

I really love how she knows what she wants and what she doesn't want...and she'll let you know! Jacob was 18 months when this happened. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was so exciting not to have to guess what he wanted to do or eat...

She still does EVERYTHING her big brother does. I'm not sure that will ever change. She's a feisty little thing. Like her Bubba, she never slows down. Ha! And I thought it was just a boy thing!

That's all for now. I'll leave you with a few pictures. Yo wekkom (you're welcome in lil J language).Jenna and DaddyMom, stop taking my picture all the time!Cheeeeeese!For Aunt Heather and Nana: look who's not afraid of his truck anymore!!!


And last but not least, my favorite picture of them all. Look at that little curl on the side of her head. It is the most precious little thing in the whole wide world!
