What she said...

In the house of the increasingly verbal (almost) two-year-old, the days are filled with hilarious comments, questions, and exclamations. Ella pretty much never stops talking or singing and I'm pretty sure she's had the alphabet song stuck in her head for going on three weeks. Every now and then she'll look up and scream out a few letters: "XYZ!", "LaMenoP!". She loves to ask what things are or who someone is and to repeat everything we say no matter how difficult. The cutest part is that everything she says goes up at the very end into this adorably high little question mark. Here are a few of my favorites from the weekend:

When asked what she wanted to eat as a snack she said, "Gorgonzola!"

As we left the diner this morning after breakfast she said, "See you later Diner."

After placing about six stickers on my face she began laughing and said, "You're a funny clown."

While reading The Wild Things last night, she saw the picture of the sea monster with the goatee and said, "Oh dinosaur needs a haircut."

While walking up the steps this afternoon she began counting, "Uno, dos, tres, quatro, cinco, seis." Spanish. The girl can count in Spanish.

While riding in her stroller around the block she looked up at me and said, "You're awesome, mommy."

Thanks bud. You're awesome, too.
