Videos in the Making & Lotus' New Phrases!

I have a crazy amount of videos I still need to edit. We've had lots of adventures the past few weeks, but I have yet to edit the videos.

I feel so ashamed about lagging in reporting this, but Lotus is now using phrases!

She's has been able to point and name her body parts for the past two months now, and it surprised us about two weeks ago when she woke up with Emmanuel, and while they were making breakfast together, she declared, "So hah-pee, so hah-pee, so hah-pee (so happy)!" This morning, when we woke up, she cuddled up next to me and said, "Hah-pee deh, hah-pee deh, hah-pee deh (happy day)!"

I think she does understand what she's saying because she repeatedly says "happy" over and over again whenever she seems pretty happy.

Here are a few other words/phrases she's been using the past three months:

I huh-gree, I huh-gree (I'm hungry)
Hurrt, hurrt (She says this when she's hurt)
Butt! Butt! (She says this because sometimes, she wants us to rub her bottom--go figure!)
Shoe (I don't know if this counts because I think it was her first word)
Whenever she puts on new clothes she still likes to rub her belly and say, "Preh-tee, preh-tee (pretty)!"

She's still is quite demanding when it comes to being read to (a few of my readers know this). She shoves books right in people's faces and says, "Read! Read! READ!"

I need to go because Daphne wants to go outside and ride her bike!
