The Things She Says

Yesterday we went to dinner to celebrate Kim E's birthday.  The last time we went to dinner with them at Fazzi's we also took Dani, and I can't believe how much she has matured since the last time we ate there, which could have only been a few months.  Last time she wanted to sit in my lap and not eat, this time she sat in her high chair, ate well, chatted up the neighbors, had conversations (that no one understood), made faces at Nick, and just all around enjoyed toe company.  In no time, my baby girl has grown up.

With that said, she did puke in the car yesterday (the first time she has puked since being in her "big girl seat".  That was not fun.  Milk puke.  On top of the lack of cleaning I was able to do, I had to park my car in 105 degree heat, so the car smells bad.  Even after getting home and cleaning it out (as well as the seat), is still stinks.  Oh well, a story for the books!

It's been ages since I've written anything about what Dani has been up to these days.  It's a lot really.  She's very active, and talks all the time (again, unknown conversations).  But I was thinking about her upcoming visit to the doctor and what skills she has learned or perhaps not learned.  Her vocabulary sticks out to me, she knows a lot of words!  Here is a small list of words she says often (aside from names)...

Ball
Dog
Out
Go
Cup
Bowl
Blue
Blueberries
Bath
Towel
Shoes (a favorite!)
Purse
Ice
Cheese
Tea
Pool
Duck
Truck
Car
Plane

Most kids her age have a spoken vocabulary of 12-15 words, though I can't seem to believe that statistic.  She knows many more words too, I can ask her to get her pajamas and she knows what I am asking for.  She can point out body parts that I ask her about.

Anyway, things are going well...she's still my ticklish little turkey, and a cute one at that!
