Natalya

Today Natalya had her stuffed doggie and she said "awwwww, look at the baby doggie" in her little sweet baby voice. She then said "where's her mommy?"
I said "I don't know honey"
She thought about it for a minute, looked up, thinking then said, "maybe at the store" and nodded.

Natalya's obsessed with Mommies and Daddies and babies. If there's a Mommy Elephant, there's going to be a daddy elephant or a baby elephant. :) her animals have to have whole families. If there's only one cheetah, she asks me "where her mama is".

She's also reading some words. She knows the word baby and will read it when she sees it. She says, "Mommy, that says baby. B-A-B-Y, baby!" She also will usually recognize her name and "Daddy".
