27 months

The coolest developments in the last month have all been around language. Rosie hears and repeats all (no secrets!). Whenever she comes back from someone's house, it's fun to hear the new expressions and phrases pop up. Examples of fun language use:

• I'm getting diiiizzzzzzy! (at the park, balancing on the floating bridge)
• I got you! I got you! (on her way to console her baby cousin)
• Are you happy? I'm happy. (right before falling asleep, putting her face right up against mine...too much!)
• One second, one second (when trying to delay the inevitable)
• Awwwwwkward (picked up from her friend G during our Truckee weekend trip)
• I'm alright, I'm alright (assuring us she does NOT need her diaper changed)
• Naked attack! (a favorite pre-pajama bedtime ritual)
• Who that? What's that? (still a favorite of hers...used incessantly. She asks, even when she knows the answer. Which is very likely her just copying us since that's exactly what we do to her)
• SCUSE ME (her version of excuse me, though she usually asks for attention by screaming it. next step will be to show her how to wait patiently for a response)

Just this week Rosie really got into building with legos and blocks. Her imagination plays through when a castle morphs into a giraffe, into a lion, and then into "nothing,  It's trash." She likes to role play (today I was a crow chasing her, a butterfly), sing, dance, run, look through old photographs, and asks us to tell her stories. Oh, and still loves to watch shows and play games on the phone.
