Seemingly overnight, Lucie has gone from grunts, points and single words to full sentences. Her longest phrase used to be "Daddy...office", and we thought that was pretty exciting. Just this week she's turned into our own little sportscaster, giving us the play-by-play on everything. Watch out, Al Michaels.Here's a sample from an afternoon with Lucie (all sentences followed with an exclamation point so you can truly appreciate how thrilled she is about talking):
In the stroller — "I'm singing A,B,C,D!"
Playing with Ducky & back-up Ducky — "I'm kissing two duckies!"
At the park — "I climb, I go down, I meet mommy!"
Mixing food in her milk at dinner — "I'm cooking dinner for Ryan! I cook it in the microwave!"
No wonder we're all so tired (in a good way) at the end of the day. It's hard to keep up!
Ryan's talking a lot too, though not quite in full sentences yet. With such a chatty twin, it'll be interesting to see if he gets to this point really quickly, or instead lets his sister do all the talking for him. I've heard that sometimes happens with twins. Language acquisition is such an amazing process to watch - especially with two kids at the same time.

wow that's so incredibly cool! I've always thought that there was something very amazing about those "speaking in full sentences" kids. Language really is fascinating. Supposedly, babies try out all the soundsof every language in the world when we think they are just making "baby sounds". Then they refine the ones that they hear the most often around them. Cool!
