Katie's first conversation

Katie has been speaking in phrases lately instead of one-word declarative statements. For instance, she'll say things like, "Go away!" complete with hand gestures. One evening, she went into the kitchen where Eric was and a few minutes later, Eric came out laughing. He said she had just chastised him, saying, "No! No! No!" and waving her pointing finger at him.

Today, not only did she walk up to us without the cookie we had just given her, she said, "Fruit bar. All gone." Her hands were up in the air- and I think she had fed that strawberry newton to Lucy.

Then, after pulling the shorts for her pink monkey one of over her shoulders like a purse, she walked into the living room and said, "Bye-bye guys."

I asked where she was going. She said, "Outside."

Hilarious.
