This month she started saying Da-Da. I just couldn't wait to share the video, so I posted it almost immediately. If you missed it, you can see it in this post.. She's making lots of other sounds, so I think more words will be coming soon...right now it's a foreign language.
Here's a list of a few other things she is doing now:
- waving bye-bye at the right time - she's been waving for a while, but not at the appropriate times until now
- Giving five when we hold our hands up
- sleeping through the night most every night
- crawling EVERYWHERE
- pulling up on EVERYTHING
- walking around her toys while holding on
- walking really well while holding our hands
- standing alone - for a few seconds - or until she notices that she's not holding on
- eating lots of table foods - trying to hold the spoon by herself
- feeding herself snacks
- drinking well from a sippy cup
- putting blocks or balls IN to the toys - up until now she would only take them OUT
Her new favorite show is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse - She especially LOVES the Hot Dog song. When it comes on, she stops everything she's doing and "dances" along.
I took her outside last week since the weather was so nice. She seemed to like being out there with the girls while they were playing, but she scared of the grass. When I sat her down, she took one look at it and started screaming like it was going to bite her! She doesn't have a swing yet, but I sat in one of the swings out there and swung with her. She laid her head back on me and sat really still - she seemed to like it, so I'm adding a swing to our list of things she needs.
She has really started noticing the dogs now. She would watch them before, but not she gets excited when we ask her "where's Jonas?", etc. Jonas is the big dog, so she doesn't mind Anna Kate pulling on her. It's a good thing too because Anna Kate uses Jonas to pull up on a LOT! Stella is scared out of her mind of Anna Kate - and she should be! Anna Kate got Stella's hair a while back and pulled it really hard - Stella has not forgotten and will probably never feel safe with Anna Kate again! Stella hides when she sees the baby coming her way...
I'm expecting walking within the next couple months!
