Gemma's Words

Boy this girl's vocabulary is growing each day by leaps and bounds. She actually spends the ENTIRE day talking, whether it's jibberish or real words. I just wanted to document some cute things she is saying right now...

my mom: "Gemma, why are you trying to open the dishwasher?"

Gemma: "Harmony help" (she wants to help my mom unload the dishwasher)

We were at the spray park the other day and on our way out, saw Maeve, Gemma's BFF. We had to be home to feed Leni, so it was a quick visit. Afterwards, my mom asked Gemma "what did you do at the spray park?" and Gemma replied "Maeve, bye". I just loved how she was telling my mom what had just happened.

She can count to 7 in English - she also says nine and ten, but for some reason has a hard time with "eight". This was a total surprise - we never taught her to count in English, but a couple of days ago she was just walking around, counting. I was shocked.

She can "read" most of the alphabet. She is still working on "U", "V", "Q", "Z". Every time we pull up to a store, she is busy reading the letters out... like "W-A-L-M-A-R-T" or "M" (when she sees McDonalds), etc.

There are so many more, but of course when I want to sit down to write about it, I can't think of any...
