Our little smarty pants!

I have been horrible about writing in Ryah's baby book and I am hoping I have blogged about enough of the important things that I can just catch up later. So here is an update on our little smarty pants!! Ryah is a little over 14 months old right now and is just barley starting to walk. She took 6 steps on her own yesterday...THANK GOD! I think that her vocabulary and reading skills have been priority over walking. She can point to any body part you ask and say most of them. She is also obsessed with outside and her swing. I would guess she can say over 50 words and she try's to say anything and everything you ask her to. These are a some of the words she uses on a regular basis: elbow, balloon, bubbles, knee, arm, foot, toes, head, hair, ears, cheeks, teeth, belly, legs, swing, flowers, tree, car, juice, box, bottle, seat, sit, bite (she wants a BITE of everything), cup, soap, goat, cow, duck, bird, dog, diesel (Kortnee's dog), walk (pronounced balk) spaghetti O's, cheese, hot, cold, up, down, light, ball, nice, out, NO (we here that one a lot), kortnee (pronounced nee nee), mom, dad, papa, grandma (either nama or mama), comb, pretty, cute (pronounced tute), please, thank you, hello, hi, boo, bike, boy, girl, kids, baby, Ryah, night night, bye or buh bye, mine, sun, moon, stars, all the colors....and the list goes on. Not all the words are pronounced perfect but you can definitely tell what she is trying to say. Every time she sees flowers she wants to pick one and sniff it, this could get us in trouble. Ryah is very aware of her surroundings and likes to show us that she knows what things are and she knows where things belong. I can ask her to put away her toys and she does, I ask her where the sun is and she points to the sky...she is so smart! She can also count to 3, she skips 1 most of the time because I say it for her but she is getting the hang of it! She knows the sounds of many animals and we don't even need to ask her what they say anymore, she just tells us if she sees one (Ryah loves the zoo). What I mean by reading skills is when we watch her Your Baby Can Read videos they show you the word then they say the word; she always beats them to the punch....that is reading right?? I LOVE those movies and so does she! Anyway, I could go on forever but I think I documented all the good stuff!! Hopefully we will have a little walker here soon!! Take care everyone!!


Nice hair Missy

Wow she does say a lot of words! I will have to check out those videos because Emmett loves the tv, so if he can learn something and watch it that will be even better.
