Bless You

I went grocery shopping with Taryn this past Friday. We met all the nice people that were there shopping too. Taryn's awesomely cute that way. So, we're just going along, picking up things from the list, and ooooh!, some things not from the list! She's looking all around, like an old pro, you know? When next I sneeze! She stops what she's doing, looks at me, says "bless you", then goes back to looking around. She did that to me twice in the store. How cute is that???

Word

Taryn's vocabulary is growing large! It's neat to see her recognize objects and associate a word or sound with it. She knows the sounds a cow makes when she looks at the picture. It's also amazing to see her cognitively think... putting a set of words together and then completing the thought! For instance, she knows how to converse on the phone: "Hello. OK. Bye." She also knows when she's going to see Nana and Grampa (which I'll say to her), then she'll say "Aunt Sue!" (which Taryn says to me)

Some of Taryn's recent favorite words are: Um, Airplane, Mommy, Daddy, ah-ee (Anthony), Mia, exer (Dexter), Brad-ee (Bradley), Moo (she says this when she sees a horse crossing sign near our house), Aunt Sue!, lillard (lizard), No, S'that (as she points to something she wants), Juice, Aunt mananananana (Aunt Bananas), Grammie, (and if you whisper it to her) Aunt Tina! :)
