My daughter is 2.75 years now and she's starting to have conversations with me.

Before she would just repeat things she heard other people say but now she will say, "Mom, what are you doing?"
"I'm cooking, baby."
"I'm not baby, I'm Anna." Heehee!
Plus she has really gotten into the swing of telling me when she has to use the potty which I am thrilled about. We'll be rid of diapers soon enough!
