talky talk.......

wow, casey has definitely had a language explosion lately........she says everything........she'll repeat anything anyone says and is even learning how to string words together........like "daddy at work" and "can't reach" and "read book"........it's really awesome to watch........every day she's understanding more and learning how to say things........MUCH better than the grunting and pointing that she was doing not too long ago........it's also super helpful to know that not only does she want a drink, but she wants water or juice........and for breakfast she can actually tell me what she wants instead of trying to force pancakes into her when she really wants cereal.......the way she says things is really cute too......for instance one of my favorites is "hot doggy" for hot dog and how she pronounces "ladybug" sends me into fits of laughter.......i love it........of course it's a little harder to ignore her when she wants something she can't have when she's actually asking for it........now to get her to understand what "no" means........=)
