New Words

Jeremy and I were curious how many words Kiera was speaking...so we tried to write them all down...we stopped somewhere around 150 words! She is adding new ones every day.

Just yesterday she said three new things very clearly:
Danya (the name of her daycare provider),
Kiera (YAY!!! Finally said her name!!!, we have been working on this FOREVER),
and "I LUV YOU" (I haven't heard this yet, but daddy swears she said it to him).

Other favorite words are:
My Daddy
My Mommy
Color
Poo poo
Potty
Boo (Boot, Sandal, Shoe)
Shoe
Diaper
Door
Ow-shide (Outside)
Ball
Watey (Water)
Ungree (Hungry)
Muck (milk)
Tee (teeth)
Cracker (this is any kind of snack; cereal, crackers, chips, etc.)
Doggy
Stuck (everything that doesn't do what she wants is "stuck", hahaha)
Go
Bye-Bye
Night Night
Yay! (then claps)

She just gets cuter and cuter every day!

Sunday night she wouldn't go to sleep, so I finally thought "wonder if something hurts?" (duh), so I asked if her mouth, tummy, head, toes, etc. hurt. She just looked at me...so I said "are you thirsty or hungry?" and she nodded her head yes! YAY!!! We have two way communication about basic wants and needs!!!!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

Enjoy your hammock and a cool beverage!!!!
