Magoo and Her Yo-gee

This is such an amazing time of development, the time when they start learning words. It seems like Rufus has talked since before I was born, so getting to witness this growth again with Magoo is very special. She now mimicks anything and picks up more words a day than I can count, although her speech is still underdeveloped, so sometimes she has to say the word over and over and then point before her poor, dumb mama actually catches on. Thankfully, she is patient with me.

One of her favorite new words is yo-gee. It has two meanings...yogurt and yoga. We can figure out which one it is by where she is standing, pointing, and yelling. If she is in front of the icebox, then we know it's yogurt. In front of the TV is yoga. (I gave myself a Wii balance board for my birthday, and it came with Wii Fit, which includes yoga poses.) Here are pictures of Magoo in her bathing suit and cowboy hat demonstrating her favorite yo-gees: the tree and the warrior.
