She is picking up new words everyday but doesn't always communicate with us effectively, because she doesn't put words together to form sentences. At times, she does say phrases such as "Dog sleeping" and"Where it go?" On our walks, she'll name things that she sees ...such as cat, dog, car, truck, helicopter, airplane, flowers, sky, clouds, stop, bus, motorbike, bike, grass, leaf, baby, etc.
"Little One" likes to copy what we do. Sometime, it seems like she is a sponge absorbing what is going on around her. Little One will insist on trying to do things such as opening doors, turning on lights, wearing our adult-sized shoes, using keys to open doors, climbing up and down chairs on her own, and flushing the toilet.
Look at what the little girl is up to these days:
1. This is a photo of "Little One" in the morning before her breakfast. She has just come down the stairs and is on her way to the breakfast table. She looks like she is ready to take on the day.
2. She's strumming Daddy's guitar and learning what sound the strings make.
3. We brought out the water colors this month. She really enjoyed this activity but managed to color the table as well as her paper. Luckily, the water colors are washable. Otherwise, we would have a very colorful table.
4. Doesn't she look prissy here carrying her purse?
5. She has been drinking juice and milk from the straw sippy cup for awhile, but now "Little One" is also drinking soup straight from the bowl. Of course, she spills some of it, but her fine motor control is better than it was a month ago.
6. This girl has loved remote controls and other high-tech devices ever since she was a baby. She has been very observant, because she is able to turn the computer and tv on quite easily.

(b) Here, she is playing with a Nintendo Gamecube controller that is not plugged in. She's pushing the buttons trying to figure out what they do. She thinks the plug at the end of the controller is for her ear. She will stick that end in her ear like it's a cell phone earpiece.
(7) This is what she likes to do with Daddy & Mommy's shoes....she looks so proud of herself walking with these grown-up shoes.
(8) When she goes down for a nap or to sleep at night, she really falls into a deep sleep. This is a cute photo of her sleeping with her friend, "Curious George."
