Vocabulary

Dearest Ella Kate,

Your vocabulary is growing like crazy and you are quite a little talker. I wanted to take a second to write down again a list of words that you are saying at 16 months.

Up, Down, Cold, Hot, Car, Socks, Shoes, Bow, Teeth, Nose, Eyes, Ears, Mouth, Hair, Two, Duck, Book, Monkey, Dog, JoJo, Sas for Sally, Moma, Daddy, Nana, Papa, More, Cheese, Ball, Hello, Hi, Bye Bye, Dog, foot, Hat. I know there are more that I just can't think of at the moment. You are just a little sponge and are trying to repeat just about anything we say to you. You love your baby dolls and are such a good little mommy. You still LOVE balls and are taking an interest in cars now too.

Below are some sweet pics of you.

Taking care of your baby dolls. We have several little chairs that are your size and you love to sit in them to take care of your dolls and read. You love books and often "read" them aloud. You are a good little singer too. At night when I put you to bed I always sing you a song and you sing right along with me. Mommy loves it!!!

I really need to take a picture of ALL the many many precious outfits that your LeLe has made you. She makes you the sweetest clothes and you are just the perfect model. The pillow case dress in the above picture is one of my favorites!!! At your school they have spirit days where all the kids where the school t-shirt. The smallest t-shirt was a size 3/4 but we got you one anyway and your creative LeLe took it apart and made it into a pillow case dress with a matching bow of course. It is so cute and you were a hit at school!!!! Thanks LeLe
