Shooting from the Hip
Rose is walking WELL, even running sometimes. She still has almost 2 weeks till her birthday!
She finally broke a tooth through last week, and now there's a second one. Bottom front, just like "average".
What is NOT average is her command of language. We have:
maMA
daDA
KEE (kitty)
oggy (doggy)
bahnah (banana)
OW (down)
NOM (yummy)
pa-kay (patty cake, includes slow clapping)
tankoo (thank you)
pee (please)
bah-bah (byebye, includes a wave of one or both hands)
And... Drum roll... ROSIE! (OK, not really. She CAN say her name but I can't put it here. Grumph. Darn Belle and her finding me.)
The first time she said tankoo to my Dad (on Saturday), I thought he was going to fall over from shock. He had handed her something and said, "Here you go", and she grinned and said, "tankoo". When we were shopping, she clapped and looked at my Mom - "pa-kay?" And grinned when Mom played it with her.
Yesterday morning, she was playing on her toy horse and I was videoing her... And out of nowhere, she said her name clearly - she'd been saying it but I wasn't sure. Then all day - "Rosie bahnah?" - when I was peeling a banana for her - "Rosie OW?" - when I was holding her, and when she was trying to get off the sofa...
She scares and thrills me at the same time...
