Talking

Charlotte talks a lot. It is not that she has lots of different things to say, it's that she says the same thing over and over and over. I am beginning to understand what people meant when they rolled their eyes and replied, "Just wait til they start talking - you'll want them to shut up" when I mentioned that Charlotte wasn't talking much about a year ago.

Sure, when she says the same sentence - no lie - 25 times in a row - even after I repeat it back to her to indicate that I understood it - or answer her statement - it is REALLY annoying. But, I do love learning about what is going through that little brain of hers. I also like knowing what she wants or needs without having to do too much guessing.

But probably the BEST part about her speech is what happened a couple of nights ago. I was putting her to bed. We had just finished reading books, I turned out the light and she snuggled close. She had her arms around my neck and said, without prompting, "wuv you Mommy." I love you too, baby.
