It's Been A While!

Paige is eleven months old, and we haven't posted for a long, long time. Paige has grown and learned much since our last posting at Halloween. Her vocabulary seems to grow by at least one or two words every day. She now knows duck, woof, ca-ca (cat), nana (banana), moo, dad, mom, papa, ball, and milk. There are probably other words that we're forgetting, and says the beginning sounds of many words like Na-na for Nora. She also imitates many animal sounds, and she especially likes a screeching bird sound that Ben makes. Last week we decided to see how much she understood, so we gave her some simple commands, like bring mommy the ball. She proceeded to walk across the room to pick up the ball and bring it to Emily. Pretty amazing!

In addition to talking, Paige started to take several steps together on Christmas day. Now she's almost running! She even wants to walk up the stairs to her bedroom instead of crawling, but her legs need to grow several inches before that's going to happen.

Last night we had our quarterly visit from the Parents-As-Teachers representative from Clever. She suggested that we let Paige attempt to feed herself with her spoon. You'll have to watch the video to see how's she's done with that task!

Banana!
