So Anna is just amazing us everyday now. There is something new that she learns every single day. Half of it, I have no idea where it came from or how she knows it! Jeremy told her to "lie down and close your eyes Anna" and she laid down and put her hands over her eyes! Last week Jer asked her "what's a cat say" and she says "mooooow" so cute!
Of course that also means the time has come for us to be extra careful about everything we say and do, and that isn't going to let up for a loooong time. The luxury of having a baby who doesn't know what is going on is over. She sees everything and she hears everything. And all those things that you think there is no way she would understand? Well, she does somehow. Even if she doesn't, she will do whatever she can to be like mommy and daddy.
For anyone keeping score (OK, for my own personal record keeping), Anna knows the folowing words (at 16 1/2 months):
Mama
Dada
"moooo" (for cow)
Eye
Hat
Hot
Hi
Bye
Meow (cat)
Quack Quack (duck)
No
Fishy
Thank You
This
Shoe
I'll have to come back and edit when I think of more . Beyond that, she knows a ton of words, she can point to any body part that you ask of her as well as tons of things around the house. She is such a smarty pants. It is so amazing to see her grow and change. I know a lot of this knowledge is coming from her grandmothers which is great. And actually Jeremy works with her a lot always pointing out things and having her repeat it. As soon as she gets some more consonant sounds down, it will be full steam ahead and I know right around the corner she will be talking non-stop!
There is still a lot of grunting and pointing going on, and she has full conversations in her own language. Jeremy calls is Annaese Here is a little example!
