Walks and horses

This week it was finally warm enough to go outside!  Savannah LOVES going for walks.  We give her free reign of the sidewalk and she goes all over.  She's pretty good about not going in the street.  When she gets close, she stops and tells herself "no no no".  Very cute.  In Farmington where I work there are horses very nearby.  So, on Tuesday, I put Emry in the stroller and the three of us walked to go see the horses.  Savannah loved them.  She just kept saying "horse horse neigh!".  But, to get to them we had to go down a very steep hill and getting back up it pushing a stroller and holding Savannah who was struggling to get back to the horses (she wanted to crawl under the fence...) was not fun.  I was not planning on doing this again.  But, Savannah is too smart for that.  Yesterday she walked up to me after lunch and said "Walk, walk, Emry, horse, horse, neigh, please?"  How could I say no to that?  So, we went back.  Looks like we've started a tradition.  I can't wait to take her to Wheeler Farm!

Savannah has finally made an attempt at her own name.  She calls herself "Vannahs".

In other news, I think I want to count how many words she can say.  Feel free to skip to the end of the list for the grand total :).

So, that's all I can think of for right now.  There are probably a few more.  I only counted the letters she recognizes in sign language so there are only 20 so far, but I bet she'll get the rest soon.  I'm so proud of her!

Very cute! Smart girl! I may have to come see for myself during the break.

Do it! Except we don't know where we'll be living. Just call me first :).

Wow! Coming from an SLP who works in early intervention 100+ words at 16 months is awesome! Is she saying them all on her own or are some of them in imitation? Is she combining 2 and 3 word phrases? Recognizing the alphabet is incredible. You must be one amazing mommy.

Skylee, she probably says like 300+ words now and most are on her own (some are just her filling in the blanks when I read familiar stories and sign familiar songs. I really doubt she knows what eternity means...) And she completely knows her entire uppercase alphabet. she even sings it. And thanks for the compliment about my parenting, but I more feel like a mommy who tries really hard and I'm mostly just privileged to get a remarkable daughter. But what mom doesn't feel that way, right? :)
