"These ones Violet's"

(Violet and Sofia at the park)

I think I have mentioned here before, but Violet is talking quite a bit lately.  On January 9th, her 18 month mark, we sat down to make a list of words she says and it was hard!  We wrote down about 60 words, and I am sure we missed some.  Everyday she says words that make me think, "you know that word???".  

Anyway, in the last couple of days she has taken a big leap and started talking in phrases, and it is so fun!  It started at the park a couple of days ago when she came up to me with her hands out and said, "dirty hands!".  I noticed that she had put two words together, which she hadn't done very much.  From then on, she was spouting off phrases all over the place!  Yesterday, we were playing with blocks and she pointed at the blocks and said, "These one mama's.  These ones Violet's."  Later, I was vacuuming, and when I turned it off, she said, "It's loud!  It's loud!".  Anyway, it is fun to get to have little conversations with her!
