This is more of a post for me but I wanted to remember what all words Rylee is saying right now at 16 months. Of course as an speech-language pathologist I would prefer that she was talking in phrases and saying three times as many words as this but I have accepted that she is just too busy to sit down and talk so I will take what I can get! In no particular order-
bite, Bible, light, duck, bath, mama, hoo hoo (owl sound), Abby (Sandy's dog), woof, moo, milk, glasses, diaper, thank you, eye, ice, no, go, baby, ball, book, bye bye, hi, hot, drink, bottle, baa, yogurt, uh-oh, there, bag
She can imitate more than this but these are the words she actually uses spontaneously (sorry if that sounded too clinical). What is weird is that she won't say the names of anyone on her own. She calls everyone "mama" (sounds slightly different that the mama she calls me) but will eventually call them something else if I imitate their name a thousand times and won't drop it until she says something else. I wonder if it's because I'm the only one at home with her and that's the word she associates with people??? Fellow SLPs what do you think? The only exception to the rule is my sister's dog Abby. She starts calling her name as soon as we drive up to their house!
Cousins!!! (the three on the lawnmower were all born the same year) We are eagerly waiting the arrival of the newest, Tate, due in less than 2 weeks!
She found the flipflops that I snagged at Children's Place yesterday and had to wear them(believe me, here in Texarkana if you see something you better get it because next time you are there it will be gone)
This is her spot for when I vacuum. She doesn't like the noise at all!
I can't believe how much her hair is growing. She wasn't too sure about this!
Her absolute favorite thing to do- READ!!!
