Here are some of my favorite things that my favorite girl says:

She has said the word giraffe for some time now...how could she could she not??  A quick scan of any room in our house will show you at least a half dozen giraffes or giraffe print items...
But my favorite is how she says it...something like j'rash

She has a little trouble with a few different sounds and the "F" sound is one of them...Uncle Jeff's name?  Jesh

She has become obsessed with Desitin, don't ask me why...she's never even really had much of a diaper rash issue, though we've used it occasionally over the past 21+ months for some booty redness...but now she demands "medicine" at every diaper change...only she can't really say "medicine."  It used to come out more like "mess" but has evolved to mennace

A phone is a hone
A crayon is an a-on
A television is a td

The way she pronounces shampoo makes me laugh every single night in the tub when she reaches for it and says chim-pooooo in a sing-song-y voice so that she can wash her baby's hair

In a strange turn of events, she has changed the way she pronounces milk.  It used to be pretty close, something like "mick" but she has recently started calling it something like mince.  Very strange...and very confusing!  When she asks for "mince" we look at her blankly trying to figure it out, which is frustrating for all of us!  We're trying to figure out what the heck she's talking about and she's trying to figure out why she's still thirsty and without milk!  Luckily she shows us the sign and the mystery is solved!  (Of course the mystery of why she now says it like that is still puzzling us!)

Some of her newer or frequently used words include:
Pouch, couch, chair, pillow

My favorite girl

When I ask her, "Who's my baby?' she answers, "Lala!"
Too stinkin' cute!  We can't get her to say her own name, at least not very often.  I've even tried to trick her:
Mama: Can you say 'baby'?
Lucy: BABY!
Mama: Can you say 'table'?
Lucy: Table
Mama: Can you say 'mama'?
Lucy: Mama!
Mama: Can you say 'Lucy'?
Lucy: ME!
But she will say "Lala" and she does know that's her...


We had a zoo day last Saturday...in January!!  It was 65ish and beautiful and Lucy and her baby had fun looking at the penguins (among other animals):

These photos make me laugh...I have no idea what/who Annie and Lucy are looking at and I forgot to ask Tammy...Dominic is looking right at the camera!  These three (along with baby Talia) kept Tammy on her toes last Friday!  This is right after they made some yummy pizza out of clay that was in the art kit Lucy got Dominic for Christmas:

Sometimes Lucy and daddy fight over the remote...guess who always wins...
