16 months and smarter than a fifth grader!

This is currently my favorite picture of Eisley! It was taken on her one year birthday. From her most recent doctor's visit we discovered she's short, underweight, and has a watermelon on a toothpick head!! It's because she is so smart though! Her head needed the space to hold her giant learning brain. To be on track she needed to be saying at least three words. Not only has she been signing for months and months, but after creating a list, she knows and says around 130 words!! Genius! She also will repeat almost any word, but we didn't count words she only repeated once we said them. All I have to say is that I'm loving being able to communicate with my little girl so well and it's the cutest thing!!

On a similar note, this may be embarrassing for Dan, but it's the funniest thing. Eisley has known the sign and says potty whenever she is going potty or one of us is going potty. It's really cute especially since she still turns red and tears up when she goes. The funniest part is that no matter where Dan is in the house when he passes gas, Eisley hears it and automatically says "potty!" We crack up everytime and I respond with, "Yes, Daddy went potty in his pants!" Hopefully we will get Dan potty trained real soon!!

Eisley is a genius for knowing exactly what Dan is doing in his pants!! Gross Dan. I love hearing all the words that she knows and hearing her mimic words we are saying. I think my favorite right now is "brrrr" for how cold it is outside. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!

Very cute!!
That is a ton of talking for a little girl! Elisabeth just says words here and there but not much.
