Little words....

Just wanted to update you all on what's been "new" and what's come out of the little mouths in our family.

Last night Dave was reading the paper and he was on the weather page. When out of nowhere Amanda comes up to him, puts her finger on SD on the map and says..."What's the weather like there?" Now keep in mind, we've only looked at maps to show her where we would be traveling or where our friends and family live. We've never showed her the weather maps. Dave was floored that she knew that. I think she's picked it up from the weather channel or something.

Today, on the walk back to the car from swimming lessons she asked me "What would we be if we weren't people?" I said, "I don't know. What would we be?" A: "We would be flowers. Girls would be sunflowers." Curious to see what she would next say, I asked..."What would boys be?" A: "Blueberry flowers." Very interesting.


Sarah isn't talking too much...Ok, let me qualify that, she talks all the time, but it's usually just "No, no, no, no!" Do you think she may hear that a lot? :0) But, she is trying to say Sissy. She points at everything. Uses the sign language sign for more to mean more, food, or bottle. She has finally learned to crawl down the stairs instead of just walking off it and she has learned to high five, to my surprise. I haven't really worked on it with her, but when she got down the stairs for the first time without falling off them, I said "High five Sarah!" and held my hand up. I was expecting to have to take her hand and show her how to do it. But, she got a big smile on her face and just started slapping my hand. I think she picked it up by watching us do it with Amanda. I was so excited.
