moo, balk, and baaa

Amelia has learned some new sounds - animal sounds. My favorite to hear her say is duck. if you ask her what a duck says she will say " balk, balk". Another favorite is monkey which is A, OO OO. I have told her a duck says quack and a monkey says oo oo aa aa, but she likes to put her own spin on things. Some other animal sounds she likes is meow and woof, which are said more like ME ow, ME ow and arff arff. She also know a bird says tweet tweet, a cow says mooo, and a sheep says baaa. Watching her say cow is pretty cute too - she uses her whole head to get the mooo out. I am working on pig and lion. I will keep you all updated!

August 22, 2008

August 22, 2008 seems like it is a million years away, well, at least to me! But I'm sure it will be here before we know it. Daddy will be back in school after a much needed summer break from school kids, I will hopefully be potty trained, and we will become a family of FOUR!!! That's right everyone, right before Christmas, mommy discovered that there was a baby on the way! Until now it has been top secret, but we finally decided to let everyone in on our secret!! Although mommy and daddy keep telling me about this baby coming, i don't really understand what they are saying. I'm sure when the baby is here, crying all night and eventually playing with my toys, I'm sure I will understand what they have been telling me!

2, 3

these are my new numbers that i have learned! Mommy likes to count while we do everything - wipe my hands and mouth (1,2,3!), when i jump, when we buckle up in the car, when i get dressed (arm, arm, head = 1,2,3!) etc. I have been listening and just yesterday when mommy said one, i said tooooo fre which mommy is sure meant two and three! i like to exhagerate the two! I guess mommy will have to find ways to count higher every day so I can learn more numbers!!
