Rylan's starting to talk

These last two weeks, Rylan has been starting to say more words. She understands everything that we say to her, but she never said much back, except for random babble. For the longest time, the only words she said was DaDa, Momma, Pops and Stop. She can now say Puppy, Kitty, Apple (sounds more like App-poo), Up, Hop, Cheese (for when she smiles at the camera) and Sit. Yes, it's Sit for sure. Duane looked at me crazy the first time she said it, but she tells her babies to sit in the stroller. She also says Baby and MeMe, which we figured out, is her. She says MeMe Baby, which I think means she's the baby. She just started saying Mine after this weekend. Probably because she was letting Cade have it when he would take her baby or stroller. She also can make the sounds for Puppy, Kitty, Sheep, Cow and Horse. Books and her babies are her favorite things. She will carry as many babies as possible, then lay them all down for a nap. She spends hours pushing them around in a stroller and wrapping them up in a blanket. She's so sweet because she gives them a kiss and pats them on the back. She waves to just about anyone and blows them kisses.

She started her new class at Primrose this week. Even though, she's only 16 months, they decided to move her up to the 18-25 month old class. She didn't do well at all in the 12 month class. I think the kids were too young. Most of them were crying the whole time, could barely walk and had no interest in playing with Rylan. She cried so much every time I left her. I just hated it. She has been doing great in the new classroom. She didn't even cry about being dropped off. The kids all sit at the table in the morning waiting for flash cards or a story. There isn't any crying and it's much more calm. This morning, she actually walked in holding my hand. I didn't have to carry her in and force her to stay. She was even waving to the ladies at the front desk. I think she will enjoy this class more and learn more.

LOL! She is right there with Brianna who loves going to daycare now that she is in the toddler room (1-2 y/o). She gets excited the minute I pull into the parking lot and walks in all by herself. He vocabulary is also expanding alot in the past couple of months. We need to get together soon and see how they interact.
