I feel really lucky. Because I'm with A pretty much all day, every day, I get to see her change and learn. I don't go away and then come back to a bigger or smarter baby -- when something clicks, I know that things just connected in her brain.
Lately, she's been having an explosion of language understanding. Not speaking -- everything that isn't babbling or "hi" sounds like "daddy" or "dat", although she seems to be getting close on "duck". But she's understanding lots of new words. She has nurse, foot, hug, cat, duck, and drink down pat. This morning she's working on clap and head and as many others as we take the time to teach.
A still has no interest in signing. She understands signs for "cat" and "nurse", but has only possibly signed "nurse" twice. She's so contrary.
In other news, still no walking, just free-standing. She continues to grow into her interactive toys, using the stacking rings and ball-drop more and more appropriately. Less and less goes into her mouth, so we can let her explore more and examine more things. Right on time, she's growing out of her 12-month clothing and into 18-month. We've avoided sleep training because of the stress of house fix-ups, but her sleep is slowly improving on its own. There are still some bad nights of 3 wakings, but 1 waking nights are less uncommon. And although A continues to eat anything that isn't nailed down (with any kind of sausage being her number one favorite food ever), she only has those two bottom teeth.
11 months. Wow. Time to start thinking about a first birthday!
