This kid of ours is so full of personality and life-I love it! She learns what seems like 8 new words a day and always amazes me with what she understands. For lunch today, I asked her if she was hungry, and she did the sign for hungry. I put her in her high chair and she got mad about something. I looked over while I was getting her food ready and she put her bib on...all by herself. She has a great understanding of what things go where. If she sees a phone, it goes next to your ear. If she finds shoes, she brings them to your feet. I could go on and on...
On another note, we went to see my family over spring break and she played with her cousin, Will (weeye/sort of sounds like Willie). They had a blast! He learned how to say Hazel, (Sazel) and I'm told from Keri that he cried while saying Sazel in his car seat after we left. It about broke my heart to hear that.
This kid loves being outside, and hates it when we bring her in.
I can see that this spring and summer will include many trips to the park! It's hard to believe a year ago all she wanted to do was eat, and sleep...oh wait...
Hazel said her first sentence yesterday. She pointed to a picture in a book of a dog, and said, "That's a dog." WHAT? How did that happen? She said it two more times after that, then she pointed to a cat, and said, "That's a dog." Oh well, it's a start!
