Brag on Baby

It really is amazing how quickly they change. She has been doing so many new things recently, I thought I'd update everyone with all the "new" things.

She has so many words now - it's hard to believe that 2 months ago, she only said 3 words (mama, dada, and baby). Now she can say the following words: mama, dada, baby, ball, book, yes, yummy, hot, hot dog, doggie, birdie, water, more, boy, and Hannah. She says about half of her words without any prompting at the correct time. The other half we are still working on to make sure she actually understands what they mean.

She waves when you say "hello", "byebye", "see you later", or "let's go." She tries to talk on the phone and type on the computer. If she wants you to take something and you aren't paying attention, she takes your hand, opens it, and places the object in your palm. She points or brings you things that she wants. If I ask her where her belly button is, she pulls up my shirt and points to my belly button. She laughs at everything. She gives real kisses and hugs on demand. She puts her hands up palms up for "all done" and she raises her hands in the air if you say "way up high" or "ta-da." She can stand up on her own and walk pretty well now. She dances. She sits on the floor and uses her feet to move in a circle. She tries to pick things up with her feet. She claps when you say "yay" or when you start singing "Pat-a-cake."

It's so awesome to see her turning into this fun happy little girl. :)
