Who can help but fall in love with those happy baby blues?
I talk to my kids all the time, even when they are little. I've always thought that is why Alec learned to talk so young. Cordy has been vocalizing plenty for the last year but she hasn't really said much in way of "real" words. I think because I couldn't understand her very well I just figured she couldn't understand me either. Boy was I wrong!!!
One day when we needed to go pick up Alec from preschool I started talking to her (like I always do) and mentioned that she should go grab her coat so she could get it on. I did not actually think she would do it. I was just saying it. Well, she walked right over to the chair where her coat was laying, and she picked it up and brought it to me. My eyes were wide with excitement and hers were too. She CAN understand me!
Since that morning in early December I have learned that she understands much more than she can say. She loves to be a helper and will put books away, bring dishes to the table, put laundry in the dirty basket, pick out jammies, clean up toys, bring me her shoes, bring me her hat and coat, etc. I love it! She also blatantly disobeys at times, but that is be expected at this age. By the third kid, I'm totally used to it.
My goodness, this little lady is growing up so fast.

What a big girl. She is so cute. I just love her coat & hat....they're adorable on her.
And she can say book an no. I heard no a lot, even when she meant yes. Her tone just changed when she meant yes. That made me laugh.
These are darling pictures! April is too far away!
