Oh, that's right, I have a blog. Might as well use it for cute updates about my amazing daughter.
Around Father's Day, we talked about the words "father" and "mother", which she was unfamiliar with (only having previously used mom, mommy, dad, and daddy). It was really fun watching/helping her get straight who was who, and I think she's pretty much got it now. So sometimes she will just start calling us "mother" and "father", which is really cute.
She is also learning other relationships such as sister and brother. She is very social and always wants to know who is who and what all the relationships are. All of her friends have sisters and brothers, which really helps. She talks a lot about her (as-yet-non-existent) sister, which is kind of making us think about the next one...
To describe the location of something, she has started saying "right up here", which is really cute. It's pronounced "righ TUP hee-yeah."

If A Song Could Be President
If a song could be president
We’d hum on Election Day
The gospel choir would start to sway
And we’d all have a part to play
The first lady would free her hips
Pull a microphone to her lips
Break our hearts with Rhythm and Blues
Steve Earle would anchor the news
We’d vote for a melody
Pass it around on an MP3
All our best foreign policy
Would be built on harmony
If a song could be president
We’d fly a jukebox to the moon
All our founding fathers’ 45’s
Lightnin’ Hopkins and Patsy Cline
If a song could be president
If a song could be president
We could all add another verse
Life would teach us to rehearse
Till we found a key change
Break out of this minor key
Half-truths and hypocrisy
We wouldn’t need an underachiever-in-chief
If a song could be president
We’d make Neil Young a Senator
Even though he came from Canada
Emmylou would be Ambassador
World leaders would listen to her
They would show us where our country went wrong
Strum their guitars on the White House lawn
John Prine would run the FBI
All the criminals would laugh and cry
If a song could be president
-Over The Rhine
