1. Mommy decided to try a hairband on "Little One" one day. We had to take a picture of her, because it made us crack up. She looks like a disco girl about to go out to the roller rink in the 70's.
2. Interesting photo of "Little One" in front of her gate....smiling and trying to shake down the prison gate.
3. "Eeeh." (AKA: "Hello"). She's becoming increasingly interested in having us read books to her or in flipping the pages on her own. This picnic table is not only a desk.....it has become a climbing apparatus for "Little One" too. She also likes to imitate us with her play phones.
Just yesterday, "Little One" chose 3 books for "Hubbie" to read. Her favorite books are "Moo...Baaa...LaLaLa," Baby Elmo's "So Big!", and a book about ducks. "Little One" pointed to her reading books in her playroom signaling that she wanted him to read to her. "Hubbie"picked one book at a time and she would shake her head "no" until he chose the one she wanted. It's amazing! We actually are now starting to understand each other! (Sometimes)
4. Here she is standing in front of her toy box. She's picking out her toys. "Little One" is now standing on her own without having to hold on to something. She used to lean against furniture but now she's becoming more stable on her two feet.
The day care person, "Hubbie, and I are working hard to get her walking independently. Most of the time, we hold one of her hands to help her along. "Little One" does well when she takes her time with her steps, but once she starts going fast, she becomes like a drunk person and falls over. Recently, "Little One" is taking 1 to 2 steps on her own before she collapses.
5. We had placed this elephant toy high up on a tall shelf in her closet. However, one day after I picked out her clothes for the day, she pointed to the elephant toy signify that she wanted to play with it. I brought it down from the shelf and ever since, she has enjoying playing with it.
6. "Little One's" first experience in a pool during one very hot May weekend. She was a little afraid, initially......but once Mommy brought out her toys, she began to realize that she could play in the water. She started to enjoy playing in the pool and even complained when we finally took her out.
She's been trying to imitate whatever we do that interests her. It's been really amazing to see that happening.
