The Pope Kiddos: 19 months

Lily is changing by leaps and bounds lately--mostly in the language department. She's talking up a storm. We can understand a lot of what she says but some times we have no idea what she's trying to say. If she's pointing to something it makes it a lot easier. She's practicing talking a lot too. Most of the time she's blabbering about something. Sometimes she gets a little carried away and I have to tell her to quiet down a little because she's yelling. She really enjoys talking with us though and I love hearing what she's thinking about. Some of my favorite things she says are "Oh no!", "no way" and "back up, back up, back up".

We're attempting to teach her the alphabet, counting and colors. So far she really only likes to say "blue" and "two". If you ask her what color something she always says blue and if you ask her how many of something there are she'll always say two. She's beginning to learn the alphabet. When we sing the alphabet song, she sings every few letters or so.

She still loves Elmo. She knows she can watch Elmo videos on our iPhones and computers and she wants to do that all the time. She is pretty much attracted to all cartoons though, even ones not intended for little kids like the Simpsons.
