Words

Silje is having a little language explosion lately. She doesn't enunciate very well so you wouldn't necessarily recognize some of her words as actual words, but when you spend enough time with her you start to realize what she is saying.

I tried making a list of all of the words she says, I've probably missed a few, but this is what I came up with:

Baby
Belly
Bye
Bike
Bubble
Ball
Balloon
Book
Bottle
Cat
Cracker
Chair
Cheese
Daddy
Dog
Duck
Eye
Eat
Fish
Hat
Hot
Hair
Hand
Knee
Lap
Lollipop (ahem)
Leaf
Mommy
Milk
Nan (her lovey)
Nurse
Shoe
Sock
Spoon
Stian
Wall
Walk

edited to add some more that I forgot:
bath
banana
uh-oh
bird
yeah
more
pea

Her comprehension is amazing though. Stian likes to ask her where things are and see if she knows what they are and can point to them. She is really impressive. She always surprises us and knows way more than we think she will, like "ceiling" and "light" and "floor" and "doorknob". Who knew she knew those words? She also can understand commands, like "Silje, back up" (when she's on her bike and run into a wall and is stuck) or "Silje, go get your baby."

She's also really taken off walking in just the last week. She walks all over the house now. She's never where you left her. She's off wandering and exploring. It's so cute to see her walking. We've been going for walks in the evening to go look at Halloween decorations on our street (there are some really awesome ones the kids like to go look at) and she'll walk down the sidewalk.
