Kaylee's Jargoning

Kaylee now lifts up her shirt and points to her belly button. She then looks up with a little smirk, smiles and says “butt-on.” Her little belly is so cute and fat, it hangs well over her diapers and her pants. It’s amazing with how picky an eater she is how she has that big belly. It’s very reassuring to us that she’s doing just fine. She ate a great dinner last night , she ate all her spaghetti and then afterwards all her strawberries. She had no interest in the cookies on her tray however (fine with me). She started to like bananas and pineapples. I’ve been trying to teach her how to say banana. She seems to like it best when I feed her the banana straight from the peel, like a big girl.

She has said “good dog, good girl, good boy” to the dogs in the last couple weeks.

It was cute the other day Eric had gone off to get us root beer and ice cream for floats. We were playing over by the neighbor’s house and she stood up off the trike she was playing with (she can’t ride it) and shouted “Dad’s back!” across the street. Everybody looked to her disbelieving, and asked me if I had said that. I said “No that was Kaylee.” Disbelieving it myself!

Kaylee tells long stories now in her other language, a proficient jargoner. She sounds like she’s saying sentences for sure, with all the inflections and questions are definitely being asked as well. Now she’s even started to put in fillers which is making me try to omit the ahhs and umms from my speech patterns. It’s cute though. She starts with a tongue click and then “Ummm, iopeiopeo diopd ioppb ioggo og laudududud. Auaug ahh?” We have no idea what she’s saying but sometimes it’s obvious she’s making a joke, because she smiles and lets out a huge peel of laughter and we all join her laughing like we all get the joke.
