The Toddler's Speech

Even though Maddie didn't feel too well last week, she continued to add words and sentences to her spoken vocabulary. In fact, hearing her say new words, phrases and full sentences that I *know* she's understood for months added some sunshine to the week.

A few examples that occurred over the weekend: Maddie came up to me and said, "Mommy, I want wawa (water)." That sentence made my day. Earlier, Eric gave her some juice and she excitedly announced, "Mommy, I have juice!" She's also been saying "Thank You" consistently and it sounds so cute.

Hopefully Maddie continues to speak new words and sentences in the coming weeks. Very exciting!
