Darlings, just a quick post for today – one that will hopefully make you smile :) I was scrolling through the HUNDREDS of images on my phone (mostly of Marli) and wanted to share these with you. Clearly the child is a babbling fool right now, but since she can’t form sentences yet, she is finding other ways to communicate with mama.
Can you spot a trending theme in these photos??

(I JUST noticed that she always uses her right arm…is this an early indicator that she will be right-handed? Interesting.) Babies are SO SO SO smart and I find myself talking to her ALL day long! I talk about anything and everything and it is amazing what she picks up on (verbal and nonverbal). I try to make rhymes and songs out of everything (and most of them are pretty ridiculous), but that’s how she learns 🙂
Lately, I’ve been teaching her about animals and the sounds they make. She growls when I say “tiger” and it is the cutest thing ever. She will confidently say “BA BA” when I ask her about the sheep and she says “OH AH AH” when I talk about monkeys. (Hop on over to my Instagram HERE for a 15 second clip of her saying it and twerking haha!) I’ve also been teaching her to clean up after herself so before we leave Grandma’s house and/or head off to bed, I ask her to pick up and clean up her toys and will “help” her put away her things. And I think she finds it enjoyable because I make it out to be a fun game for her 🙂
Lovelies, I hope you have a fantastic weekend and can’t wait to hear about it on Monday!

SUCH cute pointing pictures 🙂 I’ve been talking to Kiernan a lot about the different colors, but that’s kind of a non-verbal thing on her part… Maybe I should work in the animals more often, because I would looooove to hear little responses like that!
Omg I can only imagine the responses u will get. Have ur video camera ready! 🙂
She is the cutest! I love her little striped dress!
Thanks ashley! It was from H&M
Haha, her right arm, I die! That is so adorable.and one of my favorite stage is teaching them the animal sounds and having them make the sounds! ah, I guess every stage is my favorite stage, let’s be honest. 🙂

I know! This is by far my fav stage so far 🙂
Wow! Look at her standing! I think I need to up our homework and studying over here! Kaitlyn never tries to mimic animal sounds even though I’ve been doing them for months! Such a cutie and hopping over to IG now!

Hey Viv! I find that repetition helps a lot. Marli has been walking for a couple months now and seems like she wants to run now. Gosh, they grow up so fast.
