Brianna continues to learn and grow every day! She still is not much interested in walking by herself, but that does not slow her down. She just crawls over to her walker and off she goes! Here is a picture of her towards the end of one of her marathons (she does several a day) – multiple loops downstairs, stop at the foot of the stairs and go up and down, more loops downstairs.
Here she is chatting with me while finding new uses for her walker (You can push it from the back! You can push it from the front! You can even push it from either side).
She continues to eat everything in sight (now that we got rid of that nasty ear infection), and she seems to be adding more words while improving the enunciation of her current vocabulary. The big one the last couple of days is “please.” Anytime you ask her to “say please” she does the sign for please (or at least her version of it!). She always has a HUGE grin on her face when she does it – too cute.
She has really been into reading lately also. She will sit in her chair and read the same book over and over again. Then she will pull out another, and repeat. The balloons in these pictures were her favorites today.
She has also become very clingy and shy. If she has not seen you in say, the last week or so, she does NOT want you to hold her or touch her or generally come near her until she is ready. Which brings me to my final observation – I do believe she will be a tad strong-willed. She is already starting to demonstrate how stubborn she can be…daily… Jason has already commented that we are getting a peek at what the “terrible twos” will be like.
