Mmmhmm and Naaa-ahh
Oh the joys of language and babies! Lily is now 16.5 months old and is really beginning to get a grasp of language. The kids find her to be a great play-toy, and now the toy even talks! I can't tell you how they delight in asking her the following couple of questions (over and over and over again!)
Josh: Lily, do you want to go to bed?
Lily: Naaa-ahh
Josh: Are you sure?
Lily: Mmmhmmm
Josh: Do you want to go night-night?
Lily: Naaa-ahh
Josh: Are you sure?
Lily: Mmmhmmm
Plain, simple and makes him laugh every single time! Lily, of course, thinks she is just as big as the other kids and now will laugh at them as they laugh at her. She's absolutely at "maximum cuteness" age. Not one of the kids can walk in the room without getting or giving a kiss to her. They all have to scoop her up in their arms and squeeze that adorable little toddler body of hers. And she is learning as well to run up to them with her little lips in the kissing position saying, "Mmmmmmmwah!" And then, when anything happens that shouldn't, Lily is the first to say, "Uh-oh!"
I'm just so blessed and priviledged to have had the opportunity to experience these little ones 7 times over. Lily is in the middle of what I call "my favorite age" which is between 12 and 24 months old. I love my other kids too and there are absolutely really special times with them. But, this little girl! Right now, I'm SOOO wrapped around her little finger. And my imaginary conversation with her goes like this:
Lily: Mama, do you want me to grow up?
Mommy: Naaa-ahh
Lily: Mama, are you sure?
Mommy: Mmmhmm
