She has a lot to say!

I know I always have way too much time in between posts, and they are always about what Aurora is up to now...but I'm busy enjoying what she is up to!  And sometimes remember to document!

Words/Phrases she can say:

• Is it (Where is it?)
• Sthat (What's that?)
• Mamaw (Just said this yesterday)
• Fish
• Wash
• Momma
• Dadda
• Bye Bye
• Baby
• Pumpkin (Kind of)
• Weeeeee
• Duck
• Turtle
• No
• More
• All done
• Up
• Puppy
• Book
• Ball
• Hi

That's all I can think of right now.  I feel like there's more...I'll have to add as I hear her say them!

Sounds she can make:

• Growling (Bear, dinosaur, lion)
• Hee (Horse)
• Woof Woof
• Meow
• Moo
• Honk Honk (Just started this week for a goose)
• Quack
• Bah (Just started this week)
• Tried Ribbit...working on that one :)
• Licks her lips for Giraffe
• AaaAaa (Peacock)
• Choo Choo

Once again, that's all I can think of for now!

She loves music!  Her favorite song to dance to is Pontoon by Little Big Town.  She knows it's that song from the 1st note played!

There's not a whole lot else going on with us.  Just working and playing.  We love our new house and are just enjoying life!

Learning so much!

Aurora Cecele,

I cannot believe how much you've grown, and how much you are learning!  In the last few weeks, it seems like you are learning something new every day!  On the few days I drop you off at daycare, I come back to some new "trick" or word that you've learned!  You pick up on new words that I say all of the time!

You can say the following
(These 3 sound almost the same)
Puppy
Bye Bye
Baby

Nose - and you know where your nose is, and everyone else's!

You say "Moo" and "Woof Woof"

You love to dance, and have new dance moves every few days.  It's great to watch you!

I'm almost positive you learned to say "please" yesterday at daycare. 

When I ask where something is, you hold your hands out to ask "Where is it" also.

You are starting to give hugs, and will give me the occasional smooch, if I ask for it.

Dada chasing you makes you "run" and squeal!

You are either trying to say Milk, or Me, or Mommy.  I'm not entirely sure, but I'm working really hard to understand you.

You love to play outside!

Watching you grow and learn is such an amazing thing!  I'm so happy that I am your Momma and that Dada and I get to teach you all this fun new stuff! 

I love you like crazy,

Momma

P.S. Dada loves to snuggle you and smooch you, so quit swatting at him! :)

Look at you Grow

My lovely little girl,

You are 6 and 1/2 months now.  You have learned so many new things!  Let's see what I can remember.

1. You have started rolling tummy to back, on purpose
2. You say Dadadada and HI!
3. You've learned to shake your head no
4. You brush your 2 bottom teeth, and love it!
5. You love bananas, squash, peas, cereal (it's grown on you), green beans
6. We are working on getting rid of the pacifier because you wake up mad when you've realized that it fell out of your mouth.  This is SUPER tough on Momma and Daddy!  We HATE to hear you cry like that.
7. You're starting to wave to Grandma Cindi
8. You love when Momma reads to you, although you'd rather read yourself
9. You enjoy being around people
10. People can't help but come up and talk to you

You've only been here a short time and we couldn't imagine our life without you!  We love you more than you will understand and are so proud of the big girl you are becoming!
