We’ve always kind of been aware that Mae is verbally advanced. I mean, most of her biggest influences are talkers. 😉
Today, she surprised us, though. Like, really surprised us.
The context: I had cut up a piece of pizza for her lunch.
She had eaten several bites and decided she didn’t want any more of it and started throwing pieces to Andre and Sammy. (This is fairly common in our house.)
Me: Mae, please stop throwing your food. You need to eat it.
Mae: (Pointing in the general direction of the dogs) Sammy!
(At least, that’s what we thought she said.)
Me: You’re right, Mae. Sammy is one of our doggies.
Mae: (looking right at me) No! I said, sippy! (Pointing to her sippy cup.)
I think this could be the first real conversation we’ve had with her with an actual sentence.
It was pretty amazing.
My girl is pretty amazing. 
And she’ll be 20 months on Tuesday!
Wowsers, where does time go?!
Bonus: Just because I can, here’s a pic of our girl doing one of her favorite things. Lounging on the couch while reading a book. (Sadly, the lounging part only lasts a minute or two before she’s jumping up and down on it…) Love her.
