My Smart Girl

This post is mostly for our memory so sorry if it bores a lot of you. ;-)

At a week over 20 months old, Leah is really starting to talk A LOT more and repeats everything!

She is saying at least 3 words in a row now including -

I don't know.
Let's go home!
Noooo night night mama!
Yay-Yay (Leah) happy baby 

She loves singing songs and her favorites are -
Row Row Row the Boat
The Wheels on the Bus (current obsession!) - We will start to sing it saying "The kids on the bus say ----" and see if she can finish and she will say "Yay yay yay"
Patty Cake
Rain Rain Go Away

She will also just be playing on her own singing sometimes it's so cute.  I need to get my Flip video out to catch her in action soon!

She loves to point out everything she knows. She will get silly and really fast point to things and say "Mama!", "Elmo!", "Phone!", "Slide!", "Puppy!", etc. It is so funny.  She is also always saying "Hi" to everything. Hi Elmo, Hi Leilah, Hi Daddy, etc. 

She still loves her books and loves to sit in on her pillow pet in her room and flip through them.  And we still read books before nap and bedtime, and Leah wants to pick which ones we read. She is starting to memorize the pages too and will know what is going to be on that page and says something from it before I read it!

Something funny - a week ago she pinched her hand in the door and I put a Hello Kitty bandaid on it. First time I have had to put one on her.  And she left it on for quite awhile! Last night my mom brought her a pair of Hello Kitty socks. She picked one up, put it on her hand and said, "Owwww". She remembered that Hello Kitty was on her bandaid!!  It was so smart of her!

She has an amazing memory for her age!  We went to the zoo a few times this summer with different people. We have several zoo books that she loves to read and every time we do, she names the people that went to the zoo with us! 

Leah is such a smart girl and we are so proud!  Every day she surprises and impresses us with something new that she has learned!  :-)
