She's happily crawling around now a days. However, this means that "Hubbie" & I have to keep a closer eye on her. On top of learning how to crawl, she's learned to pick herself up to a standing position. However, she's not learned how to sit herself down quite yet. The day care person says that even though she's tired, she'll keep standing and whining until the day care person comes to sit her back down.
Our little girl is calling me, "Mum" and "Hubbie", "Daa." She says "Tac" for Cat, "Dug" for Dog, Duc for "Duck." She's, also, signing "All Done/Finish", "Milk," and "Bird." She understands the sign for "Eat" and "Drink." But...I must say...She's mostly whining but it is a form of communication. I'm hoping she'll continue to pick up more verbal and signing communication skills because the whining can be pretty hard on the parents ears.
There is one thing I'm hoping is a phase. It is her crying whenever she sees strangers or people she does not see constantly. I'm hoping that this is a phase. My reasoning is that she's beginning to identify people in her life and probably doesn't feel comfortable for people she doesn't recognize or see often.
Our little girl seems to be teething constantly. This previous weekend she had two bottom teeth spring out simultaneously. According to the pediatrician, she's got a lot more in the back that looks like will be sprouting out soon. Poor thing! She's got a low tolerance for pain. We're getting ready for more whining, neediness, and irritability.
The following are the latest photos of our little girl.
1. This was her Easter dress. It's not a fancy dress but it's one of the rare occassions she's been dressed in a dress because of warmer weather that weekend.
2. She loves to play with the TV remote control. This is the rare occassions that she was allowed to touch the remote control. During these times, she'll hold it up smiling proudly to show that she's the Queen of the Remote.
3. She's happily playing with her toys.
4. The "home girl" is playing with her Care Bear cards.
5. This is a photo of her and her first gate. This gate blocks her from going into the kitchen. She's shaking it to see if she can knock it down.
6. She's rocking away on Elijah, the Elephant.
7. This one is where she shaking her links while hanging onto her musical chair for stability.
