Putting Words Together

One of the sweetest things to hear is Kaelyn putting words together. Of course hearing her say anything is wonderful, but when she says "Dada ByeBye" or something along those lines I just can't help but smile. It's fun to hear her putting words together because it helps us understand what she's needing or wanting. There's very little crying for things these days, as most times Kaelyn can either tell us with her words what she wants, or with the sign language she she has learned. Learning to communicate with a little one isn't always easy, but once the ball is rolling it makes the days go so much smoother! :)

One of the most recent phrases that Kaelyn has been saying, or trying I should say...is "where'd it go?" or "where's it at?" Although it kind of flows together (as I'm sure you'll hear in the video) as one long word, being around her enough, Scott and I know what she is saying. Her little hand gesture as she shrugs her tiny shoulders gives us insight as well. :) I still can't get over how much kids catch onto things, even gestures like a shoulder shrug or the tone of their voice to let us know she is asking a question not telling us something! Last night Scott was playing with Kaelyn and she began saying her new favorite phrase while hiding a ball in our shoes. She'd say "where's the ball?" and hold up the shoe and say "shoe". It was very cute to see her playing this little game and using her newly learned words.



I always knew that Kaelyn would be a talker, as she has jabbered non-stop since she was very young and has always enjoyed looking through books and being read to, however I had no idea that she'd love to talk so much that she'd be trying to say phrases like "where'd it go?" at the age of 15 months. It's so fun! I wonder what words and combinations we will hear next?!? Your guess is as good as ours...as she never ceases to amaze us and make us smile!

We'll keep you posted.....
