Growing up...

Lacy has been full of surprises the last few weeks. Her vocabulary has expanded, without a lot of coaching. Every once in a while, she'll say a new phrase or word and dumbfound us. When she watches her TV shows or a movie, I've caught her gasping and throwing her hand over her mouth for dramatic effect--in cue with the plot of whatever she's watching. Or she'll say "NO!" when something bad happens in the plot. She makes her toys kiss all the time. She puts people in her toy cars and rolls around. Her favorite is a little people bus that she likes to put the people in and out through the door as opposed to the hole on top. She helps us pack her diaper bag before we leave for an outing. She dances to music. She sings. She does the hand motion to songs when we sing, because she can't quite sing and do the hand motions at the same time (think itsy bitsy spider). She recognizes family members in pictures and yells out their names when she sees them. She notices when people are gone and asks "where'd they go?" or ex. "where's noah?"

A lot of people told me that this is the best age (around 18 months) and I just have to agree. She is SO fun and so full of surprises. She is so impressionable, loving and intelligent. I hope it doesn't go by too fast...

Today while Lacy was playing with her little people we found two of them in her shoes where she had put them and thought it was a hoot. Here's the pic

Lacy is such a cutie pie. I think that being dramatic along with the television is adorable. You should put some more video up so we can catch more of Lacy live : )
