Updates

Marea's top 4 teeth are coming in. The two middle haven't poked thru yet but I can see bulges, and the two side ones have poked through. Hopefully they'll all come thru together so is doesn't look like she has fangs. She's been doing great in spite of this!


It also seems like she's working on her language, big time. She chatters away constantly, not the old sing-song stuff she used to do, but more like she's trying to communicate. She mostly does it when she's engrossed in something, like playing with her toys, picking flowers or rocks out in the yard, or playing telephone (which seems to be a favorite game right now). She pretty vocal in the car too, but experiments more with silly sounds and screaching then. So far she can say 'ball', 'bye' (waves and says 'bye' to daddy every day, even before he's gone), 'cow' (she says 'ow') and 'rock'. She probably says a lot more than these but this is what i've picked up on so far. I know she's listening and trying, so i'm making a point out of repeating words and saying things correctly.


One word that I need to teach her is 'help'. Her current version of help is a high pitched scream. She is really curious and determined these days, so when things don't go her way, its no secret.


Another favorite game right now is when I throw blankets and pillows on the ground and she rolls all over them. She likes it when I join her for that one. Very cute indeed.


All in all, she's just way too cute and super fun. I get sad when she has to go to bed at night. Sometimes I wish the fun could just go on and on. From what i've heard, this ride just keeps getting better and better. What could be better than that?
