I bet you can guess which child those two words are associated with! I am amazing my Neve's expanding vocabulary, she repeats words fairly well, and even put the following three words together the other day: "Mine apple Daddy." (As she was trying to keep Daddy's breakfast apple for herself.)
She is pretty clear when she says "yellow" and "purple." Asking her to say "Ellie" still gets us an "Ella," but she knows exactly who she is talking about. And she loves to say "happy." Which is the cutest thing ever!
I could pass on the "mine!' and the ever so frequent response of "no." Everything is "mine." Mommy, Daddy, a book, the car keys, a sippy cup... You name it, it belongs to the 17 month old in the house, at least according to her. Oh the fun of that along with a 3 1/2 year old big sister who is not going to stand for baby sister claiming big sister's baby doll as "mine." Let's just say we have a few more fights in our house than we did a couple of months ago... I am not expecting this to lighten up anytime soon.
I love this stage/age. The constant learning and being able to use words to express what they are feeling. Every day is something new, you can see them shape into who they will become in the future and their personalities are starting to come through even more. It also means the end of being a baby (although Neve will still be the baby). If only I could slow time down a little.
Next up: the oh-so-wonderful independent stage.
