Lately I have been just blown away by Charlotte's vocabulary and how much of what I say she understands. She has begun attempting to parrot random words we say, which of course just thrills us (and makes us laugh sometimes). I knew it wouldn't be long before she starting stringing her known words together to communicate more effectively, but I had no idea it would happen so quickly.
Today she said a phrase! It was only a two word phrase, but the novelty of it made me realize she's been saying phrases for the past few days and I didn't even notice. Koby and I were playing with her in the living room and she looked at me, pointed at the front door and said, "Outside boom-boom." (Meaning, I want to go outside and ride on the boom-boom.) I was so happy about her using a phrase that I scooped her up and we went for a very chilly, very wet, very barefoot boom-boom ride.
As I was walking her, she heard an airplane and commented on it with her mangled version of "airplane," but it wasn't just "airplane", it was "airplane sky" along with her pointing out the sky. (In case I forgot where it was...) I agreed with what she said and we continued along, but I got to thinking, this wasn't the first time she'd said "airplane sky". As a matter of fact, she also will say "mama nose" (or different body part/person, but I feel like mama nose is the most common) or "earr out" (meaning I should take my earring out so she can play with it - her latest obsession, o joy). I'm going to have to really start paying attention to what she's saying (and what's coming out of my mouth...) because it's happening fast- we will soon have a talker on our hands!
