Babble, Babble, Babble

Ashtyn is talking all the time and it's amazing how quickly she learns things.

She loves animals. She knows pretty much every animal there is and what sound they make. We're now working on teaching her the sings for each animal, which is working pretty well, since she also loves signing.

We've been trying for awhile now to teach her numbers, letters, and colors, but she's not as interested in those. She loves to play with the toys, but she doesn't seem to grasp the concept that each letter has a different name. She'll pick up a P and we'll say, "P!" Ashtyn then proceeds to pick up every letter and say "P!" until we tell her what her new letter is. Then every letter becomes that one. It's cute.

With colors, I think she knows yellow and red, but it can be hard to tell, because she likes to be silly. A lot of times when I'm showing her the colors, she just sits and babbles.

I was telling Ben about this, with Ashtyn sitting next to us, and I said, "She just babble, babble, babbles."

Ashtyn must have been paying attention because she then repeated, "Babble, babble, babble." Ben and I laughed and laughed. Ashtyn grinned, obviously pleased that she'd gotten that reaction out of us but unsure of why we were laughing so hard.

Now she'll walk around saying "babble" and it's pretty much the cutest thing ever.
