Over the past month, both of her bottom first molars have come in (sloooooowly), so she’s been a bit sleep deprived and cranky. But she’s starting to say words! Her favorite word is Mama, though she’s been known to say hi, bye-bye, boo (=blueberries, her favorite food), and maaaa (=milk). She can say dada, though she really prefers to talk about me right now. She waddles everywhere and gets into everything–books, movies, toys, anything on shelves. She can find the tiniest lego pieces that haven’t been put away.
And she loves shoes. Oh, does she love shoes. Elizabeth’s shoe obsession was NOTHING to Janie’s. Sometimes even though she has her own shoes on, she’ll still try to try on bigger shoes. If one pair is good, two pairs are better, right? She loves being read to, especially Sandra Boynton, who she thinks is hilarious. As soon as someone offers to read to her, she rushes to the shelf, grabs a book, and plops onto an empty lap. She also likes purses and dolls.
