We also continue to discover what a little comedian we have on our hands. She loves to entertain and when we laugh at something she says, she repeats it. I know kids do this a lot as they get older. I just didn't expect it to start at 20 months! Christopher and I don't talk about or go to Home Depot all that often but somehow she has picked up on the name of the store. I asked him maybe a week ago if he stopped by the Depot on his way home and Courtney corrects me saying 'Home Depot'. We both bust up laughing and wonder how she picked it up. Well now that she knows it is hilarious, she repeats it constantly and out of nowhere. Other things she thinks are funny are saying 'bafroom' (bathroom) during almost every meal and randomly saying 'Dr Rion' (he is our chiropractor and we taught her his name a couple months ago and now she says it often...I think she has a crush ;) ). Another often used phrase is 'close it', This goes back to her detail oriented nature. She wants every door, drawer, gate, etc closed as soon as possible. Nothing is to be left undone. She will inspect the cabinets and drawers during her meals and if one is not closed all the way she will point at is and say 'close it'. She also picks up the tiniest little pieces of lint or crumb and will hand it to me and say 'gum' (for welcome). Who knew I could have a kid that is already so much like me at such a young age???
She also has gotten really interested in the phone recently. I don't let her play with my phone. This picture was a very rare occasion. Mostly she uses her toys or other found objects and pretends they are a phone. She will take phrases she has heard me say and repeat them on her 'phone'. 'This Courtney. Take a message?' It's pretty great.
