Verbal


i should be writing about Easter but that will have to wait for another day.
i'm a rebel like that.

grace is quite the talker for being just 17 months old.
this is uncharted territory for us because madison chose not to talk for so long  - stubborn little girl.
here is a sample of the words grace is saying these days:

mommy              daddy                nash               uh oh              hot
up                      down                 here               sucker             cold
there                  please                thanks            key                 bed
milk                   juice                  cheese            ranch               camera
teeth                 toes                    owie               amen               cake
grandpa            grandma             apple              elmo                boat
banana              chip                   movie             vacuum            on/off
plane                 book                 bear                tractor             fork
ball                    bike                  bowl               doctor              Jesus
baby                  cow                  moon              spoon              yes
chicken             eyes                  nose                pig                   loud
kitty                  dog                   flower             oh no
no                     bed                   cat                  salsa
egg                   tractor               open               open
stroller              moon                cheek              close
fishies               teeth                  mermaid         outside
blankie             back                  sticker            ella {cinderella}

*the columns are crazy crooked. oh well.

we've jotted these words down over the last couple days. some sound closer to the real thing than others, but she says all of them unprompted and very intelligible. she seems to be picking up more words daily by imitating anything we say. madison now talks nonstop and has been a great help in teaching grace new words. grace is a book worm. she would read books all day long if i sat next to her and most definitely has a few favorites. sometimes she refuses to turn the last page because she knows the book is finished. 

we love seeing grace learn and grow and its been especially fun to observe all the differences in both our girls. they are their own individuals, thats for sure!

I really need to write down everything Preston can say. His list isn't nearly as long as Gracie's, but he's a few months behind her. Gavin was our talker

It's still hard to believe that those two girls- one blonde hair, blue eyed & one brown hair, brown(?) eyed- came from the same mold!!! Interesting how genetics play out. :) You can definitely tell they love each other, though, that's for sure!!

Love that Nash is on the list! It is almost play off time.
