It is really fun to talk to her now! <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Rosie has been delighting us daily with new thoughts for months now. Here are a few amusing examples:<br \/>\n* One morning, she turned to Jon as he sat down with his morning coffee and said, &#8220;Boom. Papa. Uh-uh. Cup.&#8221; This was hardly a string of unrelated words! Jon asked, &#8220;Rosie, are you saying I should be careful not to spill my cup?&#8221; Vigorous nodding.<br \/>\n* Rosie has mastered the big\/small concept, as we can tell from her constant comparisons: &#8220;Tiny toe. Biggie toe!&#8221;<br \/>\n* During a Christmas cookie baking frenzy back in late December, Rosie immediately learned the word <em>dough,<\/em> as in &#8220;More dough!&#8221; The desire to communicate about food is motivating, to be sure. Here&#8217;s the on-the-spot footage:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;More dough!&quot;\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/9220974?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"525\" height=\"394\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We&#8217;ve been enjoying Rosie&#8217;s creative mind. For a few months, she has been walking around pretending to be a (very cute) monster, declaring her threatening presence along the way: &#8220;Monster!&#8221; <\/li>\n<li>Rosie loves to sing the Brahms &#8220;Lullaby&#8221; to her dolls, tucking them in with a blanket, and putting them down for a nap. <\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;ll often find Rosie walking into the closet to &#8220;buy apples,&#8221; and then bring you a taste of one. Yum! (Where she got the idea that the closet was an apple orchard, we have no idea.)<\/li>\n<li>Lately, Rosie has joined Lucy in a game where they see an imaginary alligator, get bitten on the foot, and then promptly scare the alligator away with a vigorous yell. &#8220;BAH! Go away, alligator!&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rosie is adding so many new words every day, we just can&#8217;t keep track of them anymore (and in fact, we gave up trying a month ago today). But her very first word, after <em>Mama<\/em> and later <em>Papa,<\/em> was <em>tickle<\/em> &#8212; very appropriate for this joyful little person. And then we made an effort to note the first 200 or so words we heard from her. We don&#8217;t expect you to read them all, but for posterity, here we offer Rosie&#8217;s First Two Hundred (and then some), as the list stood on January 9, 2010.
