My baby read her first sentence

Last night I as I was taking my baby to change her diaper, we stopped to read some sentence cards that are in her room.  I have a pocket wall chart with about 8-10 sentences that we are working on.  We read them several times throughout the day as we are in and out of her bedroom.  Gabriella just turned two years old.  We have been reading together since she was 3 months old, however she has not been as open about sharing what she has learned as my son was.  She really enjoys reading with me.  We play games and look at books and flash cards together.  She just isn't a little showoff, telling me all the words she knows.

Well I am holding her in my arms and I point to a sentence and ask her what it says.  She clearly and perfectly says, "I like to have tea parties."  That was it.  She spoke each word as it was pointed to, perfectly!  I was ecstatic!  What a moment!  My baby just read me her first sentence.  It was incredible.  I tried to have her repeat it and get it on film but at that precise moment my husband turned on an Imax movie and that was the end of that.  She was on to the next thing.  Maybe someday she will let me catch her in the act with my camera, but so far we have been unsuccessful.
