(Little Leia) Happy 21 months sweety!

My little girl is 21 months now! Just 3 months away from becoming 2. She just started taking aloooot more recently. Apart from words, she's beginning to speak in two to three word phrases.

1. Leia recognizes and says quite a lot of animal names: Dog, cat, mouse, rabbit, pig, cow, horse, lion, tiger, bear, giraffe, elephant, zebra, monkey, hippo, turtle, croc-dile, frog, bird, duck, dy-der (spider), bee, fish and so on!

2. She knows a lot of the words in her ABC book. I realize ABC books with real pictures of objects are the best. They help children relate better. 

3. Leia can say quite a few phrases now! Just recently she started saying 'Mummy/daddy where you!' which made my heart totally melt when it happened. Also, 'Mummy sit', 'bom bom duck', 'Papa Jesus' (which Jo taught her hehe). 

4. She knows how to call her name now! Just yesterday I was asking her 'Who's the cheeky one' and she had this super mischievous smile and said 'Leia!'. 

5. Her two favourite songs of late are Incy wincy spider and wheels on the bus. She keeps asking me to play the YouTube videos for her to watch! She can totally sing along and imitate all the sounds in the wheels on the bus. I love it when she does the 'Mummy on the bus goes shh shh shh'. She puts her finger on her lip and makes the cutest sound hehe. 

6. I love asking Leia questions. Just yesterday, I was asking her which animals can fly. And I was amazed at how she could already comprehend that only birds, butterflies, bees etc can fly and the other animals can't. 

7. Leia can clearly say and indicate yes or no now. I asked her last night if she loves mummy and she said yes! Awwwwww.
