She's been doing great and is moving a bit more each day. Shes really into "walking" and wants to be "walked around" by Paul or I a lot during the day. She's starting to really get the hang of it and every once in a while, she will let go of one of our hands and sometimes the other, and stand for a few seconds before having to hold onto us again. Its awesome, she is a little dare devil. We love it! She's starting to crawl forward a bit, its not a lot of movement, but some. She does this thing where shes on all fours and shuffles her bum frontwards and backwards for momentum I guess? Its the cutest thing though!
We're still having great success with her potty chair. She does her business every morning upon waking and at least once again during the day. I havent been great about putting her on before and after every nap, but Im hoping that every little bit helps her to understand the whole concept. She's really a great sport though and loves looking at what she's left in the pot aftewards....its hilarious!
She's really "talking" more. I think she said "Up" today. It sure sounded like it. I always say it to her before picking her up....almost like asking her if she wants up. Most of the time after I say it, she looks at me like "Yea, Mom, pick me up please!" Its amazing what they understand at this age, even though they arent able to vocally express it, they sure know whats going on! We're still introducing sign language to her, a few new signs at a time. She hasn't done any back yet, but we only started 2 months ago, and I've heard it takes about 2 months to see them respond to it, so hopefully she will try to sign soon. She really loves to express herself though, and her laughs recently have been so big and from the gut. We treasure our little princess.
We're off to the Salish Lodge for Valentine's Day. Flynn and Shelby are off to their grandparents home for a fun sleepover and we're bringing little lady with us and having a babysitter come in for a few hours while we go to dinner. It will be very nice to have a few hours alone with my hubby! I'll post some pictures of our evening later. Happy Valentine's Day early everyone. Hope you all are doing well! =)
