Putting words together!

Today was such a great day!  I have to write it down so I remember things Ashlynn is doing so later on, I appreciate how far she has come.  When I'm with her everyday, I tend to get focused on how much she is behind instead of celebrating the new things she does.  I really need to focus and celebrate all the successes!

Today when she woke up from her nap, she started to say outside (ou-sie), and right before I could tell her no, we weren't going to go outside, she said, "i - da-dee" (is doggie).  She tried to make a sentence using three words!  They may have been out of order and slightly unintelligible to an unfamilar listener, but I knew what she was trying to say!  I clapped and we cheered at her success.  She was so proud of herself she ran around the house labeling all the things she knew how to say just to keep up my enthusiasm :)

She pointed to various things: shoe, share(chair), baby, hair, nail, nose, pupple(puzzle), baba(backpack), etc.  It was so cute!

Later when her daddy got home, she exclaimed, "home!  Daddy home!" 

My heart is leaping for joy today.  Today was a good day.  I can't wait until we can really talk and communicate.  My child is finding her voice!
