It seems like overnight Shelly's vocabulary has expanded and she's even talking in short sentances now. Instead of saying "dee dee" for thank you, she actually says "thank you." And the sentance she says that I can hear very clearly in my head when I think about it is "Hit me. Ah da." Ah da is her way of saying Archer. Sometimes he really did something to her and sometimes not. Its getting tougher for me to know what really happened since they each have their own versions of the stories. Yes, Shelly, not even 2 yet, has her own version!
She's such a sweetheart, she lets me kiss and cuddle her (when she's not too busy with something else) and she comes running to the door when I get home from work. Sometimes she even ASKS me to put her in bed so she can go to sleep! Of course, she also has her share of frustration and naughty moments. She gets so upset when we can't understand her. I try very hard to get her to show me or repeat herself but sometimes she can't even cooperate, she's so frustrated. "No!" she shouts and refuses to talk any more. And if I tell her she can't have something or to stop doing something she shouts "baby!" and hits me! Then she gets a time out. She hates this and will apologize immediatley, her time outs never last longer than 5 seconds.
Its so exciting to watch her learning all these big new things every day, talking more and trying to repeat the things we say. Yaay Shelly!
