Chit Chat with EC

Almost right as we hit the magical 18 month mark Emma Claire's speech exploded. She talks constantly now and let me tell you, girlfriend has a lot to say! It's been fun hearing her say new words each day. My favorite word she says right now is "honey". She picked it up a few weeks ago when I was looking for the hubs and calling out "honey?" throughout the house. She started following me and saying "Huh-neeeee". It's adorable. She even calls him that on her own sometimes. Or if she can't find him she will call out "honey?".

 

She is still signing and will say and sign certain words, some words she just signs, and some words she doesn't sign but speaks them. She is also quite the little mockingbird right now. She will attempt to say pretty much any word we ask her to. Language development in young children is so fascinating to me. I started keeping a list of her "bigger" words she has been saying recently. Some "Emma Claire anecdotals", if you will ;-) I can't help it. It's the teacher in me.

And in case you need more proof that our little peanut has a BIG personality, here are some funny pictures from our Costco trip this morning. She just cracks us up constantly.

Whenever we are out Emma Claire waves and says "hi!" to everyone. She will also say "bye bye" whenever people pass us and don't acknowledge her. I just love watching her grow and develop each day.
