It feels like we've all the sudden hit a "fast track" of some kind in Annalyn's developement. She suprises me everyday, it seems, with something new! She's learned to hand items to me when I ask for them (and sometimes when I don't). She has started signing "more" at mealtimes, and attempted eating with a spoon a couple of times.
The other day we were at the neighbors' house hanging out, when their dad got home. Annalyn walked toward the door and said, "Hi" as plain as day. She did it several more times upon request and suprised me with her "Hi" again when we answered a video chat with my family. How smart! Today I asked her to get her "teddy bear" and she walked into the other room, got it, and brought it back to me! It's amazing how much she understands!! These are just a few of many new fun things - I just can't believe she's almost a year old! She still loves saying "daddy" and "doggy" and has even thrown a few "ma ma"s in there just for me!
Oh she is a joy and I love her so much!
A few things she likes right now are:
Being Outside...ALL THE TIME! And she usually wants to "walk herself" - it's not as much fun to sit in the stroller anymore.
Her "teddy bears" (we haven't named them yet. Thanks to the Williams for the white one and Aunt Glenda for the brown one. Crazy that they are the same bear, but came from two different people in two different states!) SHE LOVES THEM!
Loves Macaroni and Cheese (just food in general, really)
Notice how she hooks her toes onto the tray while she eats.
P.S. Does anyone read this? Sometime I feel like I'm posting for myself (which isn't all bad of course), but sometime I wonder...
