Mira has started stringing together random words and spewing assorted two-word phrases she's picked up from Milo. She's got a vocabulary that only someone with an older brother could. Some of her recent words and phrases:
Light saber
Excuse me
Stop it!
Dinosaur
I'm full (which Milo says to punctuate the end of every meal, and which Mira says randomly when she's eating)
High five
Her favorite verb at the moment is "see." As in, "See? Bus!" or "See? Yellow!" Interestingly, both Milo and Mira learned the color yellow first.
And she either has a wicked sense of humor or the makings of a budding control freak. This weekend we were all sitting at the table eating bagels (or buggles, as she calls them) when she started standing up in her high chair. We told her several times to sit down, and when she finally did there was a chorus of "Good girl," all around the table. For the next ten minutes she decided to reenact the drama, by repeatedly standing up, saying "Sit down!", sitting down and then cooing, "Good girl!" Whether this was done to show us who's the boss, or because she thought it was funny we'll never know.
And in other news, Milo has taken a great leap forward into questions that are either unanswerable or require a lot of thought. Like, "What's a stock?", "What's court?" and "Where did everything come from?" He currently has a habit of repeating questions that is enough to drive any adult to call a mandatory 20 minute silence, but he can also be great fun just one-on-one, holding hands as we walk down the beautiful fall streets, talking about where we all came from.
