How many words can your ONE year old say?

I ran into someone at Wal-mart (weird..I know) who told me that Josie should be using atleast 20+ words by now and that I should be worried if she wasn't. Her little girl had a vocab of atleast 30, and that made her an expert...I guess. So, I thought I would let all of you know that Josie DOES have a 20+ vocab..
1. Maaah-that's me
2. Da Da-Nels
3. Da Da-baby (she does sign baby)
4. uh oh
5. Ba-Brogan
6. ughh, while pointing outside-outside
7. ughh, while doing the sign for milk-milk
8. la la-Bela (Kelsey's horse)
9. la la-Elmo
10. uh uh-Binkie
11. mooo-moo
12. uh, while pointing to tv-Barny
13. Hhhhhhhhh-hi
14. baaah-ball
15. dahhhh-dog
16. uhhhhhhh, while pointing to a book-Book
17. uhhh, after you have read a book-Again
18. wahhhhhhh-hold me
19. ughh, while pointing to chair-Eat
20. uuuuuuuut-up

She is AMAZING!...Nothing to worry about! :)

Mothers Day

They even planted them..

She melts my heart...

Grace has been going to TaVaci ( an enriching liberal arts experience for children ages 4-12 here in the Treasure Valley..there's one just down the road from me on King and one in Meridian. Children sing, dance, act, and perform.) She performed for us on Sat. May 8. It was adorable. Way to go, Gracie.

This little Piggy....likes to be rubbed!

 

When Josie had to wear her braces/boots 23 hours a day, I would count down the time until I was able to hold, rub, and kiss those little feet. I had one hour and I made sure that I used ever minute of it. She would get a bath and then I would hold her, rub and kiss those piggies.. Well, Josie only has to wear her braces/boots at nap time and at bed time now...but she still loves to have her feet rubbed. She will hold her feet in the air so they can be rubbed. It is the sweetest thing in the world. Is that not the cutest foot you've EVER seen...ahh..beautiful!

MA...ahhhh..

That's how she says my name now.

Happy Birthday...my little "Pie"

 

Josie's 1st birthday was April 29th. She is our little "Pie"..our "cutie pie", "pumpkin pie", "sweetie pie", and well, you get it. It's hard to believe that she has turned one. She is so much fun. She makes us laugh with her goofy smiles and her fake compliants. She has "DRAMA" written all over her. She pretty much gets whatever she wants from the bunch of us...and not one of us would change that! She really is spoiled.
This last year has gone by so, so fast, because of that we had the family all come and play some "Minute to win it" games at her party. We had tons of fun.
Happy Birthday my little "Pie".
