Language Explosion

I had noticed that a lot of Lily's friends who are about the same age as her were starting to make little two word sentence, but Lily wasn't doing that yet. She says a ton of words and even has thought connections, but she wasn't actually making these into sentences; there were always pauses after each word. She still loves to read books, so I feel like she hears complete sentences a lot (not to mention that's how we and the teachers at school talk to her).

We mentioned this at her two year check-up a couple of weeks ago. Dr. White assured us that all kids develop differently, but that she should soon start making little sentences. Well, over the last week, it has been an explosion of the little sentences! It's unbelievable to me how she just suddenly started doing this, and doing it a lot; it's great! My current favorite is "night-night Mommy" though anytime she says "please" (as in "more cookies please" when she wants Fig Newtons) I want to melt. It's just so sweet. It's amazing to watch her little mind grow and learn!
