- Willow is saying more and more words these days. I think she really enjoys being able to communicate more with us! (We're mighty thankful, too!) She's happy to be the conductor of people/things around her often saying "Daddy work" or "Alli eat" or "Nim come" (aka "Kim") or "Mommy sit."
-She has a few phrases that she'll say (not as clear): Have a good day! Are you okay? Be right back! Where'd it go? The other day she said "Where'd it go, shoe?" wondering where her other shoe was.
- She's started singing along to songs with us which is VERY fun! She mostly sings the last word of each line but it's nice to be singing duet instead of solo lately.
- As signs of spring have appeared, Willow's shown signs of recognizing colors. When we'd drive she'd say "yellow" every time we passed a forsythia bush. She's also pretty accurate with white, black, and purple.
- That little brain of hers is making connections all the time. She has a musical toy that plays a few songs. When it started playing the song "The Ants Go Marching" she remembered her book of the same title upstairs and quickly climbed her way upstairs, went straight to the spot on the bookshelf where it's kept, then came back downstairs to show everyone. Another time we were sitting outside in the grass and noticed a couple birds in a tree. After talking about how the bird might be building a nest to lay eggs I reminded her of when we'd read "Are You My Mother?" the night before. Without prompting, she quickly got up, came inside, went up to her room to her bookshelf and we read the story again.
It's hard to believe our little girl is about to be 2!!!!
