20 Months!

Say it aint so!!! In four very short months, Bobby and I are going to have a 2 year old and a 2 month old!!

I know learning is the natural progression for kids and I know I say this month after month, but really? How do they pick up on things SO fast??? It truly blows me away. Jordan's vocabulary is unreal and so hard to keep track of. 

In the past month, she has:

• Expanded to more and more three word sentences (or can put at least three words together), like....ready, set, gooooooooo and bad boy, DooDoo or good boy, DooDoo, brush your hair, brush your teeth
• Knows the words airplane and avion and uses them interchangeably when she hears a plane's engines or sees a plane in the sky
• Knows where Brynnlee's room is and asks for "Bwynlee woom" when we walk by it. She loves going in it and saying, "WOW!!!", "Awwww", and "Oooooooh" as she looks around
• Knows where the wa shee shee (washing machine) is and that it's wet inside
• Knows DooDoo has white paws (This one truly blew me away. I still have no clue how she learned it, but she points to his paws and says, " DooDoo, white paws"
• Has taken a liking to honey and budder (peanut butter) - so much so, that I try to hide them both!
• New body parts that she knows: armpit, knee, elbow, and neck
• Knows what it means for your tummy to growl
• Knows she's supposed to say thank you after she is given something that she asks for, but she likes to wait till I give her the side eye with a grin on my face and then she starts laughing and says, "Dank Doo!"
• LOVES chechup (ketchup) and would eat it by the bowl full if I let her
• Still loves to watch Oso, but has taken a huge liking to Ja-aminals (Pajanimals) and Stuffins (Doc McStuffins) with Mouse (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) and Marney (Barney) mixed in. 
• Knows how to ask for hep (help) when she gets tuck (stuck - typically between the couches) or can't get something to do what she wants
• Always says that a person is werting (working) if you ask her where someone is
• When she is scolded for doing something she knows she's not supposed to do, she'll ask to go to time oww (time out) in her tib (crib).......she kills me with this one!
• When she doesn't mind being rocked before a nap or bedtime, she likes to lay her head down on my shoulder with her arms around my neck. She had always been rocked in the cradle position until this past month, but more and more, she.......
• Asks to go straight into her tib, then she freaks for about two minutes like you have totally disowned her and then she passes out
• Seems like she has finally moved to one nap a day around 11:30 that ranges from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, with the occasional off day of needing a few more Zzzz's late in the afternoon
• Random words that she uses: papack (backpack), pewter (computer), pull (as she grabs your hand and pulls you through the house), happened? (with both hands up and out), drop it, durry (dirty), bike, shower, hooway! (hooray!), yahhoooo!, barn, mail, and visic (music)
• New animals that she can identify: hippo, dooda (gorilla), tab (crab), jaff (giraffe), Shamu (whale), sea ho (sea horse), and star fish

and last but not least, my new favorite thing that she does is trying to sing along to songs. A couple weeks ago, when we ran all of our errands described in this post, we were headed back to the house and this song came on the radio....

Next thing I know, I hear Jordan in the back seat singing, "Boom, Boom!" and totally head bobbing! She will now ask for the Boom Boom song and sings, "Boom, Boom", "Mmmhmmm", and "Blue jeeeans". I die. I have to get it on video.
And just because I can't have a birth month post and no pictures of her, I'll leave you with a few that I snapped on my iphone.....
