Pascale in pictures is back
Pascale has been doing so many new things these last 2 months. It's interesting to watch and I wish I was reporting it more diligently
Language
* She spins these long musical and rhythmic expressions, but doesn't say many words
* Her words are doggie, ultra, big dog, and a few others like that. Really more like incantations. Not super specific or asking/telling
* Hand signs are happening. Milk, finished, change me.
* Lots of frustration when she can't say what she wants -- you can tell she wants X! Give me X!
* Her comprehension is great. Really impressive. She opens and closes, comes and goes, takes and gives, all on instruction. It's as if she understands a lot of what we say
* She is crazy for books. They are her favorite toys -- currently Baby Cat Nicky, The Cuddliest Cuddle in the World, and Vroom Vroom are near the top of the list. And Big Dog, Little Dog.
Attention
* She watches 10-15 minute stretches of Sesame Street-type programs
Mobility
* She is walking at a fast clip. Started over the last 2 months and is now very robust
* The last 2 weeks - some jumping, climbing up on furniture, climbing off of bed for the first time successfully. She has been doing stairs for months
Eating and "digestion"
* Lots more solids, but still ~50% milk (soy, mostly).
* It may be time to potty train her. We have ordered the equipment!
