Some of Esme's new words: chicken, shake, yucky, seat, sweep, 'we go town?', hey! (somebody's barking/growling/being loud), plate, 'pretty girl', 'good girl' - others will have to think of them later.
Everything that has wheels, moves, spins or has the potential to move or spin fast is a 'whee' -- still trying to tack that down but I think that is her definition. She even says it when she runs fast, and for things with wheels that are standing still...
Tried to have a few nights without the pacifier, because the one she had was gross. The first night worked fine, I think because I showed her it was yucky and threw it away. The second night though her tummy hurt her and she knew I had to be up early the next day (she can feel the anxiety in me, I swear, and reacts to it). She screamed until 1 am and I gave in and dug one out of the drawers in the kitchen, washed it - and popped it in her mouth. She fell right to sleep. Argh.
That morning (before 5 am) I was putting her shoes on her after Mark had got her up and dressed. She looked at me and said 'we go to town?' Haha - she's got it down. Yes, we go to town -- after that she was all about going outside, down the steps and to the truck so she could go to town. She can get up and down from her carseat in the truck but we need to do and undo the belts for her. She also smacks her lips in the back seat when we are in town to try to get us to get her a shake at Sonic.
The other day she colored on a white storage table we have in the house. I told her it was yucky and would need to be washed now, 'wash wash rub rub'. That is my idiom that always follows anything I am cleaning. She walked past us to the diaper change station, opened up the diaper wipes, took one, closed the box and came over to rub the crayon off the table. It didn't work actually ( I used some 409) but wow that little brain is working all on it's own now, and 60 per at that. Mark and I were both impressed with that.
She's also turning on both faucets in the tub now - not really good!
For a while she has been able to answer 'what do doggies say?' and 'what do kitties say?' - last night she answered 'what do dinosaurs say?' RAAAAR!! and 'what do giraffes say?' (brrrrrrrrrrp) that's a long story hehe but in our house giraffes say 'brrrrrrrrrrr' like an old fashioned telephone ring. Also little girls do not eat peanut butter sandwiches, but little girls pretending to be dinosaurs will eat a few bites.

Really not looking forward to that weaning-of-pacifier thing... The sonic shake thing must be so cute! Unless, of course, she gets upset if you don't get her one...
heh - I've got her weaned down to only at night and am trying to get away from that since sometimes she gives it to the dog in the morning.
She most often just asks 'shake?' or makes the lip-smacking noise right now - no throwing a fit because we didn't stop. If we made the fast food a thing we did every time we went to town - or even every day off I have we are in town etc etc... she would quickly pick up the pattern and start throwing a fit when things didn't happen according to her observations of 'how things work.'
