Whitney’s vocabulary is expanding each day. New words are: chicken, squash, meow, bread, run, jump, pat, doll, library, pool, goat, toes, tail. I notice in her articulation that she is mastering different vowel sounds and is starting to say the sound “t.” I also notice that she is developing a fondness for verbs- run, jump, splash, pat, sing (her singing voice is too precious), dance, are all entering her vocabulary too.
She continues to make a snoring sound often when pointing the remote toward the TV because I told her that the TV is sleeping. When I ask her, “What does Frances say?” She’ll respond, “Woof woof.” Same response for “What does Minnie say?” However, when I ask her what Chompers says, she sneezes. When I ask her what Grandpa says, she gets a big smile and blows kisses. When I tell her we’re going to Harris Teeter she gets all excited and says, “balloon.” (We always get a free balloon there.)
She’s gotten very social and will wave hi and bye to other drivers and passengers as we are driving. She likes to give pats to her “friends” and definitely recognizes the kids in the neighborhood. When we go to a play area, she will often scamper off in the direction of the other kids and will sporatically run back to me to make sure I’m still there and watching.
Order is important to Whitney. She brought me her dress (which was on the floor because I was going to have her wear it yesterday) with a hanger and after I hung the dress on the hanger, she brought it to her closet. As I was cleaning the car the other day, I brought in several balloons (from Harris Teeter) and thought she could play with them while I cleaned up the other toys. She got very upset though that the balloons were inside and insisted that they go back in the car where they belong.
