Woobie

I think Ellie's settled on a woobie of her very own. No more stealing big brother's lizard. She loves blankets so this isn't really a surprising choice. Conveniently we received two of them from Steve's grandma when Ellie was born, so we already have a back up.
I think it's kind of strange that both kids picked things from Steve's grandma. That lady is apparently in tune with my kids.
In case you can't tell from the pictures, it's a small (12"x6") lovey blanket, with the satin edges. Steve and I can't decide what to call it, Woobie, Lovey, Silky,..... I know Ellie will learn the word quickly and use it often so I feel all this pressure to pick something.

On a side note, now seems as good a time as any to highlight my daughters amazing vocabulary. Ellie say:
  • go
  • shoe
  • thank you
  • off
  • on
  • mama
  • dada
  • Winnie
  • I done
  • treasure
  • brother
  • Levi
  • bye bye
  • hello
  • hi
  • yellow
  • blue
  • green
  • no
  • more
  • cheese
  • poof
  • yum
  • duck
  • book
  • baby
  • cup
  • tomorrow
  • bath
  • various animal noises
There are other things, but I can't think of them right now. I'm pretty amazed by her. Levi is a great talker now (He used the word momentum last night. Steve and I are constantly ask each other where he learned these words.) , but he was very slow to start talking. I know I said it recently but again, this stage is so fun.
Thanks for reading.

I love this stage, where it takes you a few weeks to figure out what word it is they are actually saying. I remember my cousins second little girl using, what sounded like the same word, for banana, dummy and her name. Only her mum new the subtle differences!

Wow, she's a talker, isn't she?! :) You know their vocabularies are because you actually talk to them--way to go, Mom and Dad!

How cute! And that looks like a great blankie to latch on to.

I wish the blankie Xabe picked was small! He looks like Linus from Charlie Brown. She's a doll--I love her lovey/snuggly/woobie. :) Xabe knows one word, "UH!"
