I have to start writing down all of the hilarious things Cecelia has been saying lately. she's really been breaking into sentence territory.

Yesterday we were watching Curious George and they were eating popcorn. her word for popcorn is something like 'dahkah' (kind of like da's car, so you can imagine my confusion). when i finally realized what she was asking for I exclaimed "popcorn! you want popcorn!"  and she said "yes! bye mumma. go kitchen." rofl.

Today she was in the bathtub and I heard the cat jump up onto the table so I yelled out the door to him, and she piped up "hey moo! Get off the table moo!"

there is something so funny about hearing these things coming out of the small fry's mouth.

more brilliance :)

this morning cece pointed to andy's (giant) sneakers & said "da shoefs!" <3

brilliant!

cece did two amazing things today. first, we went outside to bring baxter to go "hurry ups." she was in fleece pjs and i didn't plan on staying outside long. as we stood on the deck she said "ha!" (which is cece for a couple of different things) so i asked "ha?" she put her hands on her head: "HA!" (hat!!)  genius!!

she also told baxter to "go go!!" which is new and adorable.

later we were playing in the living room. she's taken to this bunny, so i was showing her how bunnies hop. she put him on her trampoline and made him hop there. 'puh puh!'

two weeks into 2011!

wow! time is flying. i've got lots of snow pictures to post, but until that happens, here is a video of cece & some of her words!

sla the flouch

we're super classy & have dragged a full sized mattress into our living room in front of our couch (the "flouch"), and it now lives there on a semi permanent basis (it theoretically lives in cece's room. kind of like how she theoretically lives there)

we got a new tv stand, so the flouched is leaned up against the actual couch and cece climbs up on the couch, super excited exclaiming 'sla!" which i finally remember is her word for slide! just in time to assist her sliding down.

funny girl.

more words!

we've been looking at cece's big book of animals, she already knew kitties, fluffs and ducks- but a surprise to me was elephant! she points to the elephant & says "elya"

Ceceisms

Cecelia still isn't much for talking with 'actual' words, but she is still very chatty. she has returned to calling the kitties  something that sounds a lot like kitty. sort of a 'ki-teeteeteee!' and i think she might have said 'gentle' the other day (since we always say 'gentle gentle!' when she's near any of the animals) Baxter is also a kitty, but, to be fair, he's smaller than most of the kitties.

balloon is "ba ba ba" and she has a great time with the balloon we got her for her birthday. it's pretty deflated by this point but she likes to crinkle it and hug it. i'm tempted to fold it up and save it for her, but i imagine it won't be as cherished when she's older ;)

she can sign for milk & all done- although the sign for milk now means pretty much anything she is interested in and all done for anything she does not want. i guess we should work on learning a few more!

one of the things she got for her birthday is a  little elmo mailbox. it's a shape sorter- but she took a good look at it one day and opened up the front of it and just puts everything in that way. it's much more efficient!

and more good news- we got the results of her blood tests back and she is no loner anemic! her iron levels have reached the normal levels, so we get to stop supplementing. we're all very excited about that.
