"Haddie Talk" - 28 months

Our friend, Bethany, took these pictures of Haddie a few weeks ago.
 

 Haddie has come a long way from when she had very few words and hadn't been eating food for long. She says some of the cutest things in the cutest ways and we just don't want to forget. 

For a long time, she always referred to herself in the first person. She is starting to use correct pronouns now, but it still occasionally makes an appearance. 

"Haddie do it." When she's being independent.

"And Haddie!!!" Usually involves patting her chest to make sure everyone knows she wants to be included in whatever is going down. 

By way of her brother, Micah, Haddie has managed to learn most of the new testament books of the Bible. Whenever we get to 1st and 2nd Peter she says "Peter's at Grandma's house"! 

Haddie is still pretty terrified of animals, but likes to pretend she likes them when she's standing inside our storm door.

"Mom, you see it? You see it? I see squirrel...o dhere." This usually includes a pointed finger right by her eye.  

Sometimes when telling an elaborate story she'll end it with "the udder day" (the other day) letting us know it was from awhile ago. :) 

At rest time Haddie likes to sing "Angels Sing" a Christmas song. I asked to sing something different because I'm tired of it. Haddie said "Please, mom. Pleeeeease. It's Haddie's favorite song!"

When I snuggle her when I lay her down for rest time she hugs me tight around the neck and says "that's my mommy". 

She can be heard saying "boys, stop it!"

"I need 'nother one lovie". (Means she needs both (2) of her lovies).
