Talking

Lior is talking so much that Matt and I really have to watch what we say. Today on our way to dinner Lior was repeating EVERYTHING Matt was saying. We heard:

"James want a squishy" "Jordan is cute" "Namaw Poppa dinner"
"Thank you dinner"

During dinner she was sharing tons of information with her namaw. She heard about the birthday party we attended today and about the phone call Lior made today. Lior and Sydney both had the chance to talk to our cousin Martha to wish her a belated birthday. Well, Lior thought that this was the one of the most exciting parts of her day because when she told namaw about the call she became extremely animated and her face lit up. "I talk Marta, namaw, I say Happy Birtday!!" After dinner, when we were cuddling on the couch she reminded me "Mommy I talk Marta today, Mommy".

Sydney is talking up a storm as well, she is just harder to understand. She tries very hard to make herself understood. She really tries to slow down and make the sounds clearer by over articulating some of the sounds. Her lips are doing double duty because she just wants us to understand her. She seems to be very good at telling us "I want M&M's in a bol, no raisin" or "I want M&M's in a tup too". She is also quite adept at screaming. Screaming in frustration, screaming for joy, or just plain screaming!

Jordan is talking up a storm also but the only thing we can make out with that one is "mama" and occasionally "dada". She seems more interested in taking steps. She will be running in circles around me in no time. Everyday there are more and more steps and more attempts at walking. What happened to our baby?
