Chatty Cathy

That is what a teacher of mine used to call people when they talked a lot. That is what I call Peyton now-a-days. She is none stop! For the most part it is a good thing, but every once in awhile, you just want her to be quiet for a little bit! I love that everyday there is a new word that she will say (more than one usually). Today, her word was flaw-wa. She went and got a blade of grass for me and handed it over and said, "mama, flaw-wa". It was so random. Then my mother in law and I realized a little later that she said it because of this book we read to her "I am a flower, and these are my friends. The Sun makes us grow, the rain makes us grow. Love makes us grow, and we're all grown up". She makes us read it about 100 times a day.
It amazes me that my child is so smart. I passed a shirt in the store today that said "baby genius". I wondered to myself if I would look too prideful if I put that on my baby. I came to the conclusion that, yes, I would. But seriously guys. How many 16 month olds do you know that are putting 2 words together? She knows the sounds that about 8 animals make (if you count an Indian and an Eskimo as animals...an Eskimo gives Eskimo kisses if you were wondering). She knows about 15 different baby signs, and she knows about 30 words. Plus she can repeat pretty much anything you say to her. I don't want to brag, but my kid is off the charts!
I hope most of you know that I am not serious about all this, well not completely!
