An expanding vocabulary

Recently, Amelia has added some adjectives to her vocabulary. She now knows: soft, nice, sleepy, cute and pretty in addition to her old favorite, "Wow, neat!"

But some of her adjective usage is really funny. For example, while Amelia knows the words hot, cold and warm she isn't always sure which word is appropriate to the situation at hand. I have seen Amelia drop ice cubes several times while exclaiming, "it's hot." Hot may be my second favorite Amelia adjective because it is almost always accompanied by the waving of her left hand in the air (as if pretending to have touched something hot) and followed by a quick exhale (like one would use when blowing on hot food).

My favorite adjective of hers is one she reserves for those times when she wears her sunglasses. I was surprised a few days ago, when I put her glasses on her head, to hear her exclaim, "Cool!" Now she almost always says, "Cool" when she gets to wear her glasses...too funny.
