Maddie's words

It's amazing and a little alarming the rate at which Maddie is learning new words... I suppose we really need to watch what we say around her now!

Maddie knows all the parts of her face and a lot of her body:
eyes, nose, mouth, ears, cheek, hair, hands, elbows, knees, lap, toes, feet and belly

She also knows her name and all 3 cats:
Maddie-"Mannie"
Isaak-"I-Kick"
Lily-"Lillllli"
Jasmine-"Ja-mon"

She loves animals too (pronounced "aminal")
kitty and meow-"weoooo"
doggy and woof (she shakes her whole head while saying "woof")
bird
rabbit
bear
monkey
cow (she doesn't really say cow but she knows "moooo" is what a cow says)
frog-"wog" and ribbit-"wibbit"
horse
fish

Other words:
clementine-"memon"
tomato-"maine-o" (she's definately got Maine blood!)
barrette-"bareee"
get down-"git doooow" (usually yelled at a kitty)
buckle
lights-"laghts" (she LOVES the Christmas lights!)
star-"tar"
brush (her teeth)-"wash"
PJ's-"P-days"
bus
car
color
fork-"ork"
spoon-"poon"
Bless you-"sasu" (said whenever someone sneezes, coughs or makes any other similar sound)
poop
potty (though she doesn't actually use it yet)
shower-"show"

There are others but you get the picture... It really is fun to hear her new words everyday. Her pronunciation is getting better too, which is nice for us!

That's all for now... hope to have news soon on Maddie's baby brother!

Hi Maddie: We can wait to hear you talk with us. Today you could be learning the word SNOW, very pretty out but not much fun to drive in. Papa and I are counting the days until we come and visit. Are you getting excited about the new baby? We love you and wish you were here and we could make snow angels.
Love, hugs, kisses.
Nonnie and Papa
