Truly Amazing

It is truly amazing...amazing how in just 14 short months Maggie has gone from a totally dependant infant to a toddler who now understands so much of what I say. I just cannot believe it....it truly blows my mind to watch her these days. She now says bless you when someone sneezes (including our dog, Stella); thank you; bye bye dada; mama, dada, sit (i believe that is from us telling Stella to sit); stella; hello (whenever she hears any type of phone ring); and some other long phrases that I have not yet figured out.
Also, when I asked her if she wants to go outside, she walks to the door. When I ask her if she is ready to read stories, she goes and picks a book and tries to get in her glider in her room. When I ask her where her chair is she goes and gets in her rocker or her pink chair. I know all of this is the norm for this age, but seeing it first hand is truly amazing to me!
