WOW!

My daughter will be 2 in March, and I can't believe how her vocabulary just exploded this week. It's amazing all the new words she is adding. She copies every word we say. But then she comes up with these phrases of her own that I am not sure where she gets them from because she doesn't go to daycare or anyone else's house, but yet she comes up with these words that make me laugh as well as sit there in a state of wonder. Some of her favorite expressions are:

"Holy cow"
"Oh, man"
"What we gonna do"
"No way man"
"That's just nascee"
"Oh sick"
"Crap!"
"Oh how yuck"

That's just to name a few I can think of. The one she says the most is "Oh man". It cracks me up! If her hands get dirty she says it over and over until you wash them off for her. She is adding words daily, some I am proud of, um, some not so proud (enter blush smilie here). Either way, she is a ton of fun to hang out with. She knows her entire alphabet and has since 18 months. She sings it, complete with the song at the end. She can count to 10. She recognizes every single letter as long as it is in capitals. She recognizes most of the numbers by sight. She has started counting things. If I ask how many cookies do you have, she counts them and tells me. I can't believe how smart she is. I know alot of 2 year olds, even 3 year olds, who don't know their entire alphabet. It helps that I am a stay at home mom and work with her constantly. She knows most of her colors and can play match up games. She is very loving, asking for kisses and hugs and saying I love you out of the blue now, which is so nice and it makes me tear up everytime. She also says "sorry" everytime she does something wrong, or she says "That's naughty, be nice Toria" which really makes me crack up. She is just the sweetest little thing and I don't know how I ever survived without her. Just a little brag on my sweetheart this morning, complete with pictures!!
