Toys & Talking

Our stay is almost finished at Gramma and Grampa's.  It's been a great couple of weeks with our families. Camilla has enjoyed the extra interaction and snuggles.  She's been having fun playing with all of her Christmas toys.  I can't wait to see what she does when we get home to all her old toys.  Usually she's so excited to pull them out and play, especially her little pink piano.  She's such a little copy cat lately and is picking up words like crazy.  She heard me say "Yeah" on the phone yesterday and walked around all aftertoon shouting "YAHHH" over and over.  She can now say "Sippy" for her little cup.  She will go to the fridge and say "Yo-Yo" which means yogurt.  This morning while I was making breakfast, she wanted up, but she's getting so heavy I just bent down to hug and snuggle her.  She snuggled in, tucking her arms under her belly and resting her head on my shoulder.  I said "Aw, You're so nice!".  Camilla stood up again, looked at me, and said "Nice". This morning she also heard me say "Yes" while on the phone with grampa and started repeating that over and over again.  She loves playing the "Ano" and is getting pretty good.  The other day I thought someone was helping her tinker away, but came in to find out it was just her playing with both hands! Can' wait to start lessons with her when she's a little older.  Here are some pictures of our little talker.  Mr. Stannix and Un-doh nick named her "The Destroyer" the other day because she was having too much fun knocking down their block towers.  Super funny to watch! She also likes having tea parties with her barbies. She puts plates on the little tables and gets some "Boo" (food) for them all because they're "Ungy" (hungry).  I don't know how she learned to sip from little tea cups.  She kind of reminds me of Goldilocks sitting on baby bears chair. When they're done she pats her belly and says "Foo" (full). So fun to watch her play pretend.
