All Before Naptime!

I feel bad that I haven't been updating Niamh's developement. Mainly for Niamh herself, when she looks back on this blog. Beth and I are pretty sure that Niamh takes after Daddy and must be fairly smart :)  She's been saying words well before she was 1, and has been really talking up a storm for the last few months. I guess she's more like her Grandma in that she has the gift of gab. Anybody who knows Grandma Colleen knows what I'm talking about!

Here is a list of words (accompanied by some pictures) that Beth and I wrote down that Niamh said before she took her nap this morning. They are mostly in order and we tried not to repeat words that we already wrote down, because she definitely has her favorites that she repeats (NO, for example!)...

And this was all before her nap!!!

 She probably knows hundreds of more words, it's crazy how quickly she picks things up. She's been starting to put together 2 and 3 word phrases, too. And I'm pretty sure I've gotten her to count up to 2, we're working on 3! But that's for another blog.

Have a great day everybody!
