Here's what she can do now:
- Feed herself fairly well
- "Tell" us she's hungry (she'll grab food out of the pantry or refrigerator when we open and shake her high chair tray)
- She helps with laundry - she loves to put clothes into the dryer and close the door
- She follows directions (pick up a certain thing, give that to Mommy, throw in the trash, take to your room, take to living room, etc)
- She gives kisses goodbye and goodnight and says "Ni-ni" at bedtime
- She holds the door open for the dogs to come inside
- She "feeds" the dogs and cat by putting their dish in front of them, wherever they are and even if the dish is empty
- She can also put a scoop of dry food into the cat's bowl
- She "reads" to herself out loud in baby babble
- She's learning to jump
- She knows how to unlatch the dishwasher (thank goodness for childproofing straps!)
- She eats from her plate and bowl without throwing them to the floor (until she's done, anyway) or putting on her head (usually)
I can't wait to see what comes next.
Congrats on finishing the blogathon- and I'm so glad I have met you via the blogathon. Wow...children do grow up so fast...it is amazing to see all the milestones they go through in their first year or two!! I look forward to hearing alot more about Sophie in the days ahead.
ReplyDeleteChristine,
ReplyDeleteRight now you can remember what she does when, but in a year your memory may begin to fade so it's a great idea to record her milestones on your blog.
It's such a fun time getting to know you.
Blessings to you,
jan
Beautiful, as your posts always are!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to have found all three of you through the Blogathon!
And Jan, thank goodness for blogs and Facebook - Sophie's baby book is definitely suffering from Second Baby Syndrome. Not that Emma's was ever completed, either, but Sophie's just looks pitiful.
she is super adorableeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletehaha don't forget to get a couple of safety straps (they learn to pull on everything). at the time a friend of mine suggested it and i didn't really pay much attention to it... however, we learned our lesson with a not so fun trip to the ER.
love your post :D
