I like ick

Gracie has been talking up and storm and has a pretty clear speaking voice most of the time. She does have a couple of words that make me smile and they are all words that end in "T". She can say the "t" sound but can't seem to get it right when it is at the end of the word.
1. Where'd my blankeck go? (blanket. She is hopelessly attached.)
2. I like ick. (I like it. She says this when she sneaks cookie dough or dips her finger in something yummy).
3. I want choclack (chocolate. Lately, because we've been drinking hot cocoa to fight against the cold weather).

Another funny story related to Gracie talking- We went over to a neighbor's house the other day. Our neighbor is in her eighties and has a dog named Ginger. We went over to see ginger and while we were there Gracie started looking at Juanita (the neighbor) and saying, "I want cookie" I was embarrassed so I just pretended like I couldn't understand her. Gracie is pretty persistent though and it didn't take Juanita long to figure it out. In grandma fashion she had some cookies on hand. We're glad to have a nice neighbor and a shameless daughter. :)

No, Kjersten was not reading that. She memorized the song because we listen to it over and over and over again in the car. It is so cute to me that the pictures help her to know what verse she's singing though. She's always been good at memorizing.

I LOVE 2 year old language skills! I'd be happy to share a cookie with her as well!

I know her mom wouldn't let her dip her finger in the bowl of frosting or pudding because that would spread germs. Hey if it was a rule for us, it should be a rule for Gracie too! :)

isn';t it cute when they go from babbloing to one word at a time to ittle sentences. So fun to be a mom. You are looking great! and YES terrible 2s are real, but i think it hits anywhere from 16months to 3 years. hopefully not that whole time. Good luck.
