22 months!!

This month it's almost as if a light switch has gone off.  I'm not even sure I can keep up with all the words she is saying now.  

• Can repeat the alphabet after us and tries to say them by herself (A,B,C,O,P,Q, T,O,A,B,C etc..)
• LOTS of new words:  beans, rice, night night, egg, happy, broccoli, out, snow, poopie, i know, pizza, peas, ice, car, plane, walk, Grover, rock, park, plate, tofu, bananas, avocado, pancake, birdie, boots, star, noodles, kiss (along with a MUAH! at the end), on, off, bubbles, open it, goose, hen, piggy, fishy, ducky, horsey, ruff ruff, meow, neigh, quack quack, oink, LOVE YOU (melt me).  I probably didn't even get them all.  
• Loves to tell people to 'go away'.  It used to only be Maya that she told to go away.  Now, it's everyone she sees in public that she feels is in her space.  We'll be at the grocery store or Target and there will be someone who passes us on the aisle and she tells them to go away.  Quite embarassing.  
• Loves to throw things in the trash.
• When she drops her Popo, she asks me to put it in the bath (run water over it) to wash it off.
• Really dislikes being in the stroller or the wagon.  Would prefer to walk by herself.  
• Her mystery word is ' bobby'.  We think it means 'Big Bird'.
• Loves her friends and asks for Luca, Elena and Noah all the time. 

Impossible to get her to pose for a picture in her chair.

Loving Little Gym

Loves hats all of a sudden.

Berit & Luca.

Oh, and did I mention that we got a fish?  We said that Berit could name it, and whatever came out of her mouth first would be the fish's name.  When we asked her what she wanted to name her fish, she first said 'Butt' (don't know where she heard that one) and we said...'OK, whatever is the next thing to come out of her mouth'.  When we asked her again what she wanted to name the fish she said 'Moo'.  So, Moo it is.
