There is so much new that she is doing this month...I don't even know where to begin. I don't even think I can explain on here how much she knows. Here a couple things I could think of...
.
- Today she was wearing a "Ho Ho Ho!" t-shirt and I told her that Santa says "Ho Ho Ho!" like what's on her t-shirt...so she pointed to her t-shirt and then pointed at the dancing Santa on the table in our living room. She gets it...she really gets it!
.
- She has been nodding "yes" for months now (which I love!), but in the past week she has learned to nod "no". I don't know if I like her being able to tell me "no", but it sure is cute!
.
- She loves any clothing that has puppies on it. She gets so excited and shows everyone all day long.
.
- She "moo's" when she sees a cow in a book or on tv!
.
- When you ask her "how much do you love me? (or anything else)" she throws her arms abover her head to show "this much!" She is so full of LOVE!!!
.
- She hurries to her high chair when she knows that I fixing her food.
.
- She will point to her eyes and say "eyes", she also knows her ears, nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, toes, belly, t-shirt, pants, bow and shoes. (she doesn't say all of these, but when you say them she points to them!)
.
- When she is holding something and you say to "squeeze it hard" she grunts, turns red, and
scrunches up her nose as her body shakes as she squeezes it as hard as she can. It is the cutest thing!
.
- She knows how to get off the couch and come down the stairs "feet first"
.
- When she wakes up in the morning the first thing she does when I bring her out to the living room is look for her milk and cheerios. I ask her to share her cheerios with mommy and sometimes I'm lucky enough to get a soggy one that she fishes out of her mouth.
.
- When she gives you a hug, or if she is showing that you are "good" she pats you. She does this to her new car seat almost every time she gets in it. It's like she is saying, "Good New Seat!" "Good Mommy!" "Good Daddy!" It is so reassuring that she thinks you are "good".
.
- When she goes to the TV like she is not supposed to she turns around and looks at me and smiles, points her finger at me and shakes it. Yes, I made the mistake at getting after her like this for touching the TV. Now when she does it I have to try so hard not to laugh. I guess no more pointing my finger at her...she thinks it's funny!
.
Well that's all I can think of...the main thing is she understands everything and will go and get pretty much what I ask of her, except when she doesn't want to and now she just shakes her head "no" at me!
.
BTW- we are still not walking. She cruises around all the furniture and walks great behind her push car, or holding your hand, but as soon as you let go she goes down. I guess she is just not ready. She is so cautious and careful...I just don't think she wants to take the chance of what might happen if she lets go. Until then, we are enjoying what little freedom we still have before I am really chasing her all over the place!
