When Lovely is happy or excited, she flaps her arms like a little bird. If she's really excited she even kicks and giggles and flaps so hard I think she might fly away.
Each moment seems like a new discovery with her. She's at a fantastic age of discovery and new achievements and I love watching her face as the world unfolds to her.
She teases us, threatening her first step. She traverses easily and quickly and stands perfectly on her own for extended lengths of time. She evens squats to pick something up and stands again, without needing assistance to find her balance. But her record remains two steps.
She's babbling and some sounds are becoming more clear like "dada", "mom", "tank you", "please" and "up", "more".
She's graduated to cow's milk but she's still taking it in a bottle as she seems unimpressed by the sippy cups we've offered However, she does like to use a straw and she LOVES drinking from a regular cup. We may skip sippy cups all together.
We lost her binky yesterday. Fortunately, she was busy and distracted through the evening and then was so tired that she fell asleep without it. But this afternoon, she decided she was missing it and then threw an epic fit when I couldn't find it. I spent two hours searching for it and concluded I must have lost it at church. She's not particularly dependent on it unless she's tired so it can be easy to overlook when we haven't needed it. She screamed and cried a tired/teething cry while I searched and tried to give her an impostor binky. It was even the same brand and color, and I put it on the same kind of binky leash thinking that she wouldn't mind. She disagreed. Even without looking, she could tell it was not the beloved binky of the past several months. I concluded she must be that sensitive to the texture of her old one, probably softer from months of use. I've worn her down through the evening and she grudgingly accepted the impostor binky this evening for bed.
