Walking and Talking!

Kaylee's been saying "uh-oh" and "hi" for 2-3 weeks (though she's still stingy with the "hi"), but yesterday she walked up to the coffee table, looked at her "box of mice" (as we call it) and said "ice" - !!! She brought it to me and I asked her to say mice (as in, "say Mmmm-ice, can you say Mmmm-ice?") and she did! This morning she said it a few more times, but of course when I got the camera to take a video she didn't want to say it unless she was walking away. Oh, well.

FYI: the "box of mice" was a gift from my Uncle Dan and Aunt Sharon - it's a little fabric box with finger-puppet mice (all attached, you stick your fingers in through the bottom). Kaylee could play with that thing for hours.

That's awesome! Elena won't repeat (or even try to repeat) anything we say. She picks which words she's going to use. It's frustrating when we're trying to get her to talk and she won't even try to make the sounds.

I love the video, particularly the way she walks, bounces off the sofa, and keeps on going!
