Hard to believe our big girl is 1 1/2 already! Where does time go?! Macyn's vocabulary has improved this month. In addition to saying, "Hi," and "no," consistently, she has added a few words. She now says ball, kitty (kee-ee), Mama, Dada, Papa (Grandpa) Uh-oh, Buh bye, and Banana (a-naa). Another good milestone is she responds when you ask her something with either a head shake and "no" or she shakes her head yes. This helps a lot when you aren't certain what she wants. She continues to jabber and its really fun to ask her about what she did today. I will ask if she played with a certain kid and she goes "OOOOH" and rolls her eyes. It's pretty funny watching her facial expressions.
She also enjoys imitating us. We will say something and she will try saying it back. Today she was pretty adamant about playing with our camera so I gave her our old one to use. I showed her how to take a picture by holding it out and pointing to to yourself. So what does she do? She tries and takes her own self portrait!
She enjoys pointing to everything and having us recite back to what she is pointing at. She can also pick out almost all body parts - eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, hair, head, feet, toes, hands, belly, etc. The good thing she figured out is how to smile! Kinda like when you ask her how old she is, she holds up 1 finger. So when you ask her to smile she gets a big cheeseball one. I am crossing my fingers this helps during her pictures on Monday!
Other than that, she is a busy body. She is still teething and has 14 teeth - so 2 more to go before her 2 year molars. I seriously cannot wait until this is done. She is also an avid bird watcher. She seriously just sits in front of the window pointing and looking at birds. I am curious to find out all of her height and weight stats at her 18 month check up. We think she's tall - she has already made her 18 month pants floodwaters!
