Look Who's Talking!

Natalie has become quite the talker. She has been babbling for a long time with the occasional "mamma and dadda." But lately she has been repeating everything she hears. Her sisters love trying to get her to say things. Emily swears she can say Emily, but she is the only one who has heard it. Gretchen tries to get her to quack in the bath tube (they have rubber ducks that they play with). "Natalie.....QUACK, QUACK!" Our baby, as she will probably forever be called, is growing up so fast. Each day she is saying and doing more and more. I started a word list today of everything she can say, it isn't all clearly spoken but we know what she means.


Natalie's Word List at 16 months!

• Momma
• Dadda
• up
• down
• backpack (she loves the girl's school bags)
• bye bye
• nigh nigh
• uh-oh
• bones (as in bumping fists, a favorite at the Garrett house long before the Obama's did it)
• purple (also the first color Emily said)
• go
• more
• no
• peak boo (she still is so surprised when I open my hands and smile at her)
• Pa
• hot
• burp (Daddy taught all 3 girls a song about burping, which they love to sing because it drives me crazy, and of course the only part Natalie can say is burp.)
• Lola (Aunt Jamie's dog)
• Mine
• Nana (Great Grandma Dorothy)
• Hi

We can't wait to see what you have to say next Natalie!
