Charlotte has discovered the magic of language and her speech skills are really taking off. She's even putting together lots of two-word sentences and every once in a while three.
She'll now regularly say "Audrey's room" or "my room". Yesterday Carol was futzing with car seats and Charlotte said "Audrey's seat." This morning when I was serving her breakfast she rested the side of her head on her hands and said "Mommy sleeping".
Charlotte's stuffed puppy, who used to be called "puppy", is now "baby puppy". Charlotte loves to "sort" different sizes of the same animal. If she sees two different sized pictures of the same animal she'll point to them and tell you that they are "baby" and "mommy", or if there are three "daddy" might join them.
It used to be that if you asked Charlotte, "Can you say 'giraffe'?" (or whatever) when reading a book, she'd say, very adamantly, "No!" Recently she tries to say whatever word you're prompting her for.
Charlotte is also a neat person. She loves to clean her own face or wash her hands and she loves to put toys away where they belong.
Her moments of frustration over communication are getting further apart (but louder :))
I've mentioned those noticeable developmental leaps that children take - where all of a sudden one day they seem different than the day before. Charlotte just went through one of those. Language is part of what we notice, but she's also generally happier and more independent all of a sudden.
It's a joy watching the girls grow.
