Brielle is 20 months this week. At her 18 month appointment with Dr. Brian he was telling me the milestones to watch for in the next six months. He said we would see a "word explosion". He said Brielle would start saying so many words and phrases and that talking would begin in these next six months. Boy, was he right!!!!
Scott and I are absolutely amazed every day at all Brie can say. I've never seen this process before and it is incredible to see it with my own child in my house every day. She learns so fast! I feel like she can communicate anything she wants to now. She says words and phrases to me that I have no idea how she picked up, but they are there. She can repeat any word we tell her to. She can tell me exactly what she wants AND what she doesn't want. How did this all happen so quickly?
For my own journal purposes, these are some of the things she is saying now:

blanket

I'm sure there are more. These are what I can think of while I sit here at the computer. I am so excited that she can talk to me and I am excited for what is to come (most of it) in us communicating with each other.

I agree with you--Brielle can really carry on a conversation now. What a smart little daughter you have. Before long she will be able to teach her little sister all these words and phrases. Time surely goes by rapidly.
Holy smokes! She's a talking machine!
I love how that list gives a good glimpse into your daily life...food you feed her, places you go (ie. Home Depot), etc.
She's amazing. We need her to rub off on Abby a little.
Oh, and I love that she can say "my" name. I'm sure she learned it for her other Aunt Laura, but I'll take it anyway!
I love that Brielle can now talk and communicate. I can hardly wait to see her!
Since Brie is learning to talk, when we come to visit you, I would like to teach her an important phrase - "Go Cougars!"
Dad - You will be happy to know that "Go Cougars!" is her newest phrase. We went to the zoo on Saturday and saw two cougars running, pacing and jumping around. She learned the word "cougar" and I added the "Go Cougars!". We're all ready for Saturday's game!
