Language Explosion!

Eleanor has had a "language explosion" - as Michael put it. Ever since I got back from Florida it's like she can now carry on a conversation. Her 3 to 4 words sentences have totally ramped up and her memory is unreal. She'll come out with these things she remembers from weeks (sometimes months) ago. This morning I was drinking orange juice and she said "Grandma's house...orange juice...didn't like it." She's referring to when she tried OJ at Mari Lee's 2 weeks ago and she didn't like it at all. I mentioned Jordan and Natalie the other day and she said "choo choo train." Yes, we saw and heard a train when we visited them in September. She also said "Mommy shower, Eleanor shower...didn't like." She was referring to when I was trying to save some time and had her come into the shower with me (also at Jordan & Natalie's house) and she had fit about it! Hopefully, I didn't tramatize her. These random memories she comes up with just amaze me. She is now our little chatterbox and we love it!

Whoa! That's so cool!

Jordan and I were talking the other day about the choo choo train and the face Eleanor was making when she was watching it. She was SO amazed!

That is the same with our Eleanor.....It's like one day she just wakes up and is more "alive", every few months something like this happens and there are more words, more understandings, etc. IT's so fun!!!

It's so fun to watch them become little people, isn't it? So fun!

Feels like I haven't seen you in forever - and Eleanor, too!

We need a play date!

She's a sweetie but still becomes "mute" when the phone is handed to her--I get a kick out of that as it will soon change. Bahnka & G. Karma
