Cassidy's 2nd Christmas

We got to spend time with family and friends, eat good food and visit. Cassidy got tons of gifts, of course, and entertained the family with her silly faces and general antics.

Some updates:

She has so many words, it's hard to count. She knows many animals, body parts, people's names, etc. She talks incessantly and puts 2 words together frequently. She has a set of 52 cards with different things on them and she knows what each of them are - if I put down 6 cards and say "Where is the giraffe" she points right to it.

She can't say the "S" or "Sh" sound so she replaces those with an "H". So, Shayna is Hayna and Santa is Hanta. She loves the idea of "Hanta" and points him out wherever she sees him.

She knows to say please and thank you and is learning to use words to get what she wants - hopefully lessening the whining, which is annoying.

She is very outgoing and independent. She warms up to people quickly and enjoys attention.

She has a funny little dance that she does when catchy music comes on. One of her favorite things to do is to pretend to put her stuffed animals to bed. She covers them with a blanket and pats them and says "Night-night."

Here are some photos from Christmas.
