i went to newburyport today and picked her up a little icey pack that is shaped like a koala that is meant to put on little kids' boo-boos when they get hurt. i gave it to her this afternoon and told her it was a "boo-boo buddy" and she started walking around saying "boo-boo buddy." this is perhaps the longest phrase she's put together so far.

her "very quiet cricket book" is running out of batteries, and sounds pretty sad. i told her it sounds "pathetic" and she started saying "pathetic."

randomly, she picked up an oval shape from a shape sorter and said "oval" and i pointed to another one and asked her what that one was and she said "circle" (and she was right in both cases, too).

and a few she's been saying for a week or more:

water
mail
bite (as in "can i have a bite?")
pine cone
dress
swing
slide
patty
apple

i heard her talking about her mimi the other day and then she suddenly switched to saying "julie" instead.
