Words, Words, Words!!

Not much time to post these days.  Our house is undergoing a major renovation and the entire first floor is a construction zone.  We are living out of the basement at the moment, which is challenging to say the least, especially with a 20 month old.  And we are experiencing a whole new level of "family togetherness" ;-).  The basement is usually the boys' domain, so we've invaded their space.  It no longer works to tell them to "take it to the basement" when they are getting rambunctious because everyone is already in the basement....together.  ;-0  I'm actually starting to get used to balls flying over my head and having to dodge hockey sticks on my way to and fro.

Anyway, I digress....the real point of this post is just to document L's speech progression, and boy is she progressing.  She is talking - both actual words and babbling/chatter - a lot more now.  She is saying so many new words these days.  Some new words that she says consistently:  apple, bubbles, hot, ouch (owww), eye.  She is also making progress with her "m" sound, so her "moo" now longer sounds the same as "baa", for instance.  We have also been working on the "ooo" sound in "shoe" - she still just says "shhh" for shoes, but can do "oooo" and "shh" independently, so I'm hoping she'll put the two together soon.

Sorry, no pictures today.  The main computer where we upload is hard to get to at the moment, so it may be a while before I can post pics.
