M.R.S

 Photo bombed by a stick

 The instant Mallory turned 3 she became a different little girl. It's like she took off on a blazing trail, leaving her first 36 months in the dust. She enjoys conversations and her imagination is exploding. She is also blowing up the growth chart. The little M.R.S. isn't so petite and at her well check the Doctor said "whoa! that's a bit more growth than I like to see in a year." I think he forgot that she is 50% Shannon and they grow'em big on their side.

 Her vocabulary is vast and unique. The following is a list of Mallory's version of English:

swimmy soup = swimming suit

cup cake = cuhpp ccaakee

Popsicle = hopscicle

Santa = anta

school = cool

hand = hind

snow = no

(she forgets her "S")

 Between Brady's approximations and Mallory's Yiddish I am becoming trilingual.

Whatever is coming out of their mouths I am grateful for every word. Now that we know how communication flows for a typical child, it highlights how hard Brady has to work for every word.
