walking shoes

Here's the new and improved walking! I never claimed it was graceful!

work, work, work.

Look at all these dishes to wash...

then I have to sort these books!

Our little monkey has started physical therapy! She needs to work on strengthening her core balance which is affecting everything from walking to eating! To keep her from standing and walking on her toes, we had to buy her some special shoes that support her ankles. Her walking has improved tremendously already! If she's not in a hurry, she'll just walk everywhere she goes. So far, her eating has not improved much, she's still as picky as ever. She has been gaining weight though, so I guess that's all that matters.

She walks!

And so it starts...

Olivia says "Jake!"

almost walking

Just wanted to let everyone know that our Livvy-Lu has taken as many as five steps! They are more like stumbling to a fall than actual walking but it's a start! I've been trying to post some video but for some reason I'm having trouble with the video making software.

Here's a picture of her trying to be a big girl!

Let's dance!

She loves rockin' out in her car seat!

words

It's hard to really tell at this point but Olivia does seem to have a few "words" that she uses consistently. She doesn't have too many consonants yet so everything sounds like a form of mama, dada, or baba. Sometimes I point to Jake and say his name and she'll say "da" and I know she thinks she's saying his name!

ba-ba= used to be bottle but now is a sippy cup

mum-mum= food

nana= banana

ba= ball

da-da= kitty

uh-oh= something fell

ny-ny= night-night

buh=book

haaa=hi
