Well, it’s a veritable communication explosion from our dear girl. Here’s some recent talkie-talks:

Wah Happee? (what happened?)
Mo Qui-qua (more tickles)
A-B-C-D (she starts the song)
Suh-pidah (spider – the itsy-bitsy kind)
Bye-bye Daddy, Bye-bye Momma (when either of us are leaving, she tells us goodbye with no problem!)
Bi-Birr (Big Bird)
Elmo
I Luu (I love you)
Burderr (brother)

If you begin a song like ‘Amazing Grace’, ‘Redeemed’, ‘My God is So Big’ and others, she will finish the end of the line. So you sing ‘Amazing’ and she’ll say ‘Gace!” Max used to do this too – it’s so precious.

Without any direct teaching of this, Lucy walks around and cherishes her 2 baby dolls, Susie and Anna. She wraps them in a blankie, she gives them sips from a dollie bottle. Amazing!

But this is certainly a learned behavior – she’ll take one of our pool noodles (that double as swords) or a stick outside and run towards us and yell ‘AAAAAAAAAAAA!’ Then she’ll (quite gently) ‘stab’ us in the side. Can you tell she has an older brother? We’re trying to get her to NOT do this to the dogs. 🙂
