Babbling Beauty

Stephanie is talking up a storm these days. Trouble is, only SHE can understand what she's saying! The other day my husband said our nearly 2-year-old daughter was holding a conversation with herself in a local McDonalds. He said luckily no one else was around!! (ha) It's funny to watch and listen to her. She has all of the expressions and inflection of an adult talking to another adult. Then, she looks you right in the eyes as though you MUST understand exactly what she's talking about. I just say, "yeah, that's right". Better watch what I say. Maybe my behavior will come back to haunt me one day when she claims I told her she could do or have all of these things! She seems especially intrigued with cars. Naturally, she's also always eyeing over the most expensive ones.

Stephanie did complete some short sentences this past week. One day, after she woke up, she said to me "Daddy go car". I said that's right...he went off to work! She later headed for the sofa, sat down, and said, "I sit". It was so cute. She has her own chair too. She's getting a bit wild with it. She keeps putting it on the sofa or the coffee table and tries to sit in it. She thinks it's hysterical while I'm a nervous wreck waiting for the fall to come!! Hope you all have a very nice day...stay warm!
