Ashley's Word Explosion

Ever since Ashley began to walk several months ago...she has begun to pick up words at an alarming rate! She'll bring me her shoes and say "shoe". She'll put together words she knows to form small sentences. When we ask who wants to say the prayer she raises her hand and says "I do". She loves to express her own ideas. She was in the bath tub this afternoon and tried to drink the bath water. Wade said it was "yucky" and Ashley said "no, mmmmmmnnnummmm" which means yummy. She asks for cheese, hot dogs, crackers, apple juice, and so many more things. She even has her favorite food and toy and thing to do. She loves to hold her arms out and say "dance" and she knows the word "sing". Where is my baby going? Tommy seems so old too! They are so cute together and Ashley constantly asks for her buba...which is to ask for Tommy. I can see how much they love each other. Tommy is such a great help for Ashley and Ashley makes Tommy smile. Aaahhhh, so cute.
