20 Months

Today is Mayson's 20 month birthday!  We celebrated with a concert in the park and a visit to the zoo with Jenny and the kids.  She has been talking up a storm and has been learning a ton!  In the last week or so she has done so much: She can repeat after us the entire alphabet.  She has learned most all of the letters and can say them when she sees them.  She will go up to signs we see outside and point at all of the letters and say them.  When we were camping with Jennie and Mike around Mt. Baker this weekend, she went up to all of the number signs at the campsites and tried to say all of the numbers.  "Two" is her best talent.  She has been repeating lots of words, and she loves saying hi and bye to everything.  Tonight in the tub she said, "Bubble" without being prompted.  She is most excited about the fact that she can fasten the strap on her seat belt in the car.  She can't get out of the car until she does it at least 5 times.  She even let me do a photo shoot today without running away!   My favorite thing she did today was say "Ellen" when I turned on the TV.
