Ava has really begun to talk this summer. her first words of course were dada and audrey and allie. More came soon thereafter and then hi and bye. Ba-ba for Grandpa and shes for shoes. She loves her shoes! And then it just exploded. Mama, Mommy, seat, ball, and a million other b sounds for anything starting with b. And then she picked up the word "no." That's been fun. And I say that with as much sarcasm as humanly possible. She's cute though when she says it. I'll tell or ask her to do something she doesn't want to do, she responds, "no."
allie the other day, hungry, climbs up to the kitchen island and says, " I would like some carrots." I tell her she ate them all yesterday. She says, so seriously, "I'm so mad at myself!"
Allie at 3 years and 6 months or so has decided she no longer likes to go underwater. This, after about a week of living in the water on vacation. Go figure. So, she is no longer in swim for the time being.
