Kaelyn has sure become a little talker lately! She's always enjoyed jabbering, but recently we're beginning to hear more and more words! It's the cutest thing to hear a toddler finding their words and adding to their vocabulary. I was thinking the other day about all the words she can say...and it's right up around 15 or so. It shows how kids are like little sponges...soaking every thing up and modeling the words and behaviors they see around them.
It seems that each week she has a new favorite word to say. One that has always stuck around since she first began talking though....is "baby". She has associated that word with herself...as well as other babies she sees and the toys she owns. It's fun to see her making those connections. She'll point to a baby and say it, or will point to herself and say "baby". Her favorite time to say it is when she's watching all of her pictures roll across the screensaver on the computer. She was doing this one day and I finally caught it on video. I thought it was pretty cute. :)
A second word of the week has been "tree", or in Kaelyn's words "chee". ;) She has become fasicnated with the Christmas tree and will point at it continually as she says "chee". She will even sit there for long periods of time just staring at all of the ornaments and colors. At first I wasn't sure what she meant by "chee", but after time I noticed that she was saying it when she pointed to the Christmas tree, a vase of flowers I had (she associates flowers with trees), and when she'd see the palm tree pictures we have all over our bathroom.

Staring at the tree....she enjoys seeing herself in the bulbs and saying "baby" :)
I know over the next few months her vocabulary will continue to amaze us. Each and every new word is so fun to hear.
