little conversations

 
Emily: "Mommy, when I grow taller and taller and I marry Daddy then I have a baby in my belly?"
And when I tried to explain that Daddy is already married to Mommy so she can't marry him, she still insisted that she would marry Daddy when "I grow taller and taller." Okay, Sweetheart, I guess you can marry Daddy. I think he's pretty great too. :)

Emily: "Oh no! I think this is broken. Maybe we need a Mouskatool to help! (from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) Oh Tooooodlllllleeeesss!"

Emily is totally on this "like a family" kick. "Mom, let's hold hands like a family." "Let's play this game like a family." She says it all the time and it's hilarious. I have no idea where she got it.

This week Natalie has just decided to start talking. She now actually says "all done" and "help" as she is signing those words, and she will now tell you what the dog and the elephant say. She has been saying "no" at the appropriate times for a couple weeks, and it's so nice to know what she definitely does not want. Nattie will also sometimes nod her head if you ask her something and she does want it.  She is pretty good about taking you to something and pointing to let us know what she wants. Natalie also points at pictures of temples, Jesus, and Princess and will say those words. And she said "book" for the first time today! (Jan 14, 2011)
Slowly but surely she is learning to talk and we are loving it! Our Nattie Girl has the cutest little voice and such a fun personality.
