Words are picking up steam

The girl is picking up the pace with her vocabulary. Hardcore. This past week she started to readily repeat words - bigger words - and sentences. I named her alligator toy during bathtime the other day, and she quickly repeated "algutuh" - I laughed and called our for Cindy to come over to listen. Jackie started saying "Cindih". Jackie and Cindy called Aunt Lauren yesterday morning to wish her a happy birthday, and Jackie successfully said "Happy Birthday" - she still needs some work on annunciating 'Aunt Lauren'. Another phrase was "teeth hurt" - she tripped over her feet at daycare the other day and gave herself a bloody nose, no doubt also smacking her mouth. It's quite incredible to see the light go on in her head when she grasps a new word or concept - you can really see the connections forming.
