I've been a bit behind in the blog since we just enjoyed a wonderful 1.5 week visit from grandma and grandpa from PA. It was awesome watching Claire now that she's at an age to really interact with people. Complete with having "conversations" with grandma over dinner.
Grandma: "What did you do at the park today"
Claire: "Kite"
Grandma: "Yes, we did see a kite"
Claire: "Sky" (points up)
Grandma: "It was in the sky"
Claire: "Tree"
Grandma: "Yes, the kite crashed into a tree."
It's like someone finally opened up the vocabulary fountain. Every day there are more and more words. Some of them really amaze me because she will refer to something by name that I'm positive I haven't said to her in a month. And she's never used the word before then. For example yesterday she went to the craft drawer, brought me the finger paint and announced "Paint paint paint" and pointed at one of her pictures on the well. We hadn't painted in weeks and she'd never said paint before. It must have been filed away somewhere in her brain to be pulled at when something randomly clicked. It truly amazes me how they learn things.
