Future Passengers

This is a follow-up to yesterday's post.

Piper fell in love with buses when she was only one year old.

The love continues.

As does her love for tractors, garbage trucks, dump trucks,

ambulances, police cars, fire trucks, etc. 

Elliotte gets excited when she sees one too,

but if you really watch her, 

she's watching Piper more than the truck.

I think she thinks that she's SUPPOSED to get excited,

so is doing what her big sister does.

Whether or not she actually likes them,

we'll have to wait until she's old enough to tell us herself.

Waiting for the school bus to drive up our street.
This bus driver always waves!
How exciting!

Speaking of Elliotte speaking, we visited the public health nurse yesterday for Elliotte's 18 month needles. She passed all of the developmental milestones with flying colours and is 26 pounds.

The only thing that we were curious about, was her speech. Given that Piper was saying more than 200 words at 20 months, we feel that Elliotte is quite far behind. She is only saying about 35 words consistently. She repeats a million words, but to actually just speak them to you, it's only around 35. 

When the public health nurse asked me if she was talking yet, I said, "Yes. Around 30 words."

Her response was to look surprised and say, "Wow. That's wonderful. She's ahead."

REALLY?

I was so happy and relieved to hear that. Not that I was concerned about her speech, it's just that it's hard not to compare my two girls. So yes. I was more than pleased to hear that she's doing just great and is on her way to talking just as much as her big sister. If that is the case, then I guess Mark and I will have to wait until they both move out to talk to each other again. We won't get a chance while they're both at home! Haha
