Lydia can talk.

Lydia is growing up fast ... really this month, it has been much more talking - whole sentences as in "no home, Nona and Bid Daddy's." and "Mama p'one. See Lyla." and "I have to peepee." and "No sissy book. Lyla book first."

In addition to saying sentences that we can recognize and respond to, she also is addicted to watching herself on our phones ... seriously, she could do it all day ... and if you put images on the television screen with our Roku, watch out - and she knows how to start them with the "O button."


She can put her shoes on by herself, and we are convinced she'll be dressing herself within the next few months. For the past 4 or 5 months, the ONLY shoes she would willingly wear were her white Keds. The other day she branched out and wore some boots (which she can also put on herself) ...


Another favorite sentence ... "No. Lyla do dat." It applies to things like getting a plate for lunch, putting on shoes, brushing teeth, and opening doors (which she can do, see below).

She likes to play babies (an old favorite that has turned into her changing diapers every 3 and a half seconds ... incidentally she also likes to pretend EB has dirty diapers. That one really makes her giggle.)


Why do we need this many? And why do they have to be as undressed as possible?


She likes to "Watch a show" and will ask to do so even when she knows she can't (like when we have already said no 46 times). She does still say "Ok" when we say "You have to brush your teeth first" or "Brush da teeth" when we say "What do you have to do first?"


And, yes, she can open doors (told you that one was coming).


L starts school (Butterflies class, pics to come) on Monday. We went to her orientation tonight, and she had a blast playing with all the cool new toys. She showed off her new sentence skills and changed at least 8 diapers on a babydoll. She built a Lego tower and met some new (and saw some old) friends. We are looking forward to her continuing to amaze us with her mad skills and to see what she comes up with to say next.
