Since Jodi had to protect her site, you missed out on the fact that Karsyn has renamed herself Ariel.?? All the kids at her preschool are calling her Ariel now including her teacher (because Karsyn made a very convincing case that her Dad had formally agreed to legally changing her name).?? Jodi said that the kids looked at her like stranger danger when she called little Miss Ariel &#8220;Karsyn&#8221;.?? :)?? I am resolutely refusing to cave.?? Little red headed mermaids are cute and all but no comparison to my beautiful blondie Karsyn.?? Trust me &#8211; she has far more personality than Ariel anyhow.?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Tori Word List<\/p>\n<p>At 18 months, my little munchkin is still quite behind with talking.?? I didn&#8217;t expect that either because she seems very advanced at most everything else she does.?? However, while I would rate her behind on speaking, I would rate her ahead on communicating.?? There is a difference.?? She gets her point across thus the need for words is small at this point.?? She waves her little hand and fingers like a rodeo queen &#8211; her directives are quite princessy.?? When she wants a drink refill she brings the sippy over and delicately waves her finger over the lid while raising her eyebrows at me.?? When she is finished eating, she hands me her plate.?? When she wants to eat, she climbs into her booster.?? When she wants to go, she drags me to the front door.?? When she wants to play she drags me to the bed with pink and white bag to play princess.?? Today I told her it was nap time and she brought me jammies.?? She takes directions amazingly well and will bring me or put away most anything I ask.?? She even looks for her own shoes and pacies.?? Quite a bit more help than her brothers actually.?? :)?? Her word list though is short.?? Off the top of my head here it is:<\/p>\n<p>Whoa<br \/>\nUh Oh<br \/>\nThank You (Than U or Hmm Hmm with the correct intonation)<br \/>\nHi<br \/>\nBaby<br \/>\nBye<br \/>\nMom, Mommy, Mama<br \/>\nDad, Daddy<br \/>\nBeat Ah Buh &#8211; Peek a Boo<br \/>\nBear (for her pacy)<br \/>\nPapa<br \/>\nHere<br \/>\nBitta Bitta Bitta (no idea but she loves to say that)<br \/>\nNah Ner (Tanner &#8211; she tried that once yesterday)<br \/>\nTy (has said a couple times only)<br \/>\nUp<br \/>\nHot<br \/>\nOw<\/p>\n<p>She used to say Na Na for No but I haven&#8217;t heard her say that in awhile because she just shakes her head for yes and no.?????? That is all I can think of for now.?? I looked up Ty&#8217;s word list and at 19 months CORRECTED he was up to 45 words.?? Good glory is he a little talker.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight Tori was in the room with me but being suspiciously quiet.?? When I turned around, I saw that she had gotten her hands on my lip gloss and was liberally applying it all over her face and hair.?? Before I could say one word, she burst into hysterical tears.?? She knew I wasn&#8217;t going to let her keep it and she was DISTRAUGHT.?? Guess we have another makeup girl on our hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She seriously couldn&#8217;t be any cuter &#8211; my little Sassy girl.??
