Word Explosion!

Wow, Eden's verbal skills have really blossomed in the last couple of weeks.   She generally imitates many things you say.  And she even said her first sentences ("Hi Daddy!" and "No Daddy")  And she's also really improved at walking on steps and climbing.  She's becoming a little person!

Here she is answering the call & response parts in Pete The Cat I Love My White Shoes:


She can recognize stop signs, and understands "stop and go" as a fun game:

She climbed the ladder and went down the slide by herself at the zoo playground and at the Children's Museum.



She walked up stairs at the zoo by herself without holding on to anything or scooting (no video of that, but here she is goes up stairs at Spoon Restaurant):


Here are a couple of breakfast videos:


And she ate with a spoon by herself!

  1. A few more additions, though some are unintelligible...

    music
    happy
    Bubbe
    Grammy
    Aunt Becky (this one's hard)
    a lot of people's names, including most of her classmates
    a few more letters, like a, u, and y (we think)
    she still says no "k" or "g" sounds - she fronts those (dut = duck, tat = cat)
    "hurt" - we've been signing this to her whenever she cries for ostensibly no reason. Sometimes she'll repeat it back "hurt" or "hurts" and then we'll offer to kiss it.

    I think it's past the point where we can really count words, which is cool. But she's already correcting some - she says "wuv-y" instead of "wuv wuv" now, for example!

  2. Oh and she's starting sentences more -

    I think she said "I did it" once... she says "Yay _______insert name or object" a lot, lots of "Hi Daddy," and once said to me "Mama sit" :)
