rivkaAlex is doing so many new things every day! I want to note some of them down so I don't forget them.
New words: baby, clothes, outside, nose, eye, toes, knee (only applied when viewed through ripped jeans, for some reason), light, kids, read, rocket, Pa (replaces "Daddy" to refer to her Papa), stars, blocks, bread, cake (mostly applied to rice cakes, also appears when playing pat-a-cake), clues (refers to the TV show "Blue's Clues," which she now asks for by name. I am a bad mother.), hello, that, mail.
New book she asks for by name: Fox in Socks. ("Socks Socks!")
Four new tricks:
(1) Holding my cell phone up to her ear and saying "'Lo!"
(2) Holding a tissue or napkin up to her face and making a blowing noise, as if blowing her nose.
(3) Playing along with "Two Little Monkeys" by tapping her head and shaking a lecturing finger at more-or-less the appropriate moments.
(4) Waving and saying "Bye!" for endings: finishing books, walking away from a cage at the zoo, leaving her toothbrush behind in the bathroom, having her star light turned off at night.

Date: 2006-05-24 01:12 am (UTC)It really is fun to watch her catch on to language, and the way one word can mean different things. Alex is starting to catch on to the range of "bye" and "cake." When the little girl I love was a bit older (14 or 15 months old), I pointed out a wren to her, or maybe it was a finch. "Do you see the little bird over there?" "Ooo! Little bird!" Then she craned around in her stroller to ask me, with real concern, "Where Mommy bird?"
