Bilingual Baby

For several weeks now H-bomb has been a little motor mouth. She talks, talks, talks in her cute little baby language, with facial expressions, hand gestures an all! But it seems like her vocabulary has exploded over the past week! She is now trying to mimic just about everything we say. Currently her vocabulary consists of about 15 intelligible words:

MAMA, of course :)

Dada

Yes

No

Uh Oh

Ball

Bath

Nose

Ear

Eye

Gigi

Aunt Lane

Go Dogs

Thank you

Love you





I am loving this new stage. It's just amazing to actually be able to "talk" with my baby. We are working on Happy Birthday and Trick - or - Treat.

Besides talking, H-bomb has become quite the little mover and shaker. She absolutely loves to dance. If she hears music on the TV, in the car, at the grocery store, anywhere, she starts wiggling those little hips and swaying her shoulders. It is SO CUTE!

She loves to be outside. Swinging, going down the slide and sitting in the stroller watching Daddy "fix" things are her favorite. She literally kicks, screams and cries when we have to bring her inside. We have a glass back door that she will stand in front of and beat on until we take her outside or distract her in some other way. Now that it's getting cooler I see frequent visits to the park in our future.

For a while I was afraid she'd be 15 and still solely eating with her fingers but that fear has been put to rest. She's finally started using a spoon and fork! It's messy but she's getting better :)

Our big girl weighs 24 pounds and is 30 1/2 inches long at the 15 month mark. She is in the average percentile for girls her age and is perfectly healthy! We have an appointment with the pediatric cardiologist next month and are expecting the same great check up.

God is so good! We are so blessed He chose us to be her Mama and Daddy!
