Words

Libby is becoming quite the talker. I thought I'd share some of the words she can say. Some are prompted and others she says all the time.

favorite words to say (unprompted): dada, mamma, baby, car, bear, wow, peek (peekaboo), Becky (she won't stop saying this today-elmo is now becky), gr cracker, elmo, ball, night night, moo, roar, uh-oh

prompted: kitty, duck, bath, Jesus, juice, Cole, tree, knock, eat, snow, dog, Jana (nana), Addie (she's said it twice, so I'm not sure if it counts), Laila (which sounds like blablah most of the time, but she really tries to say it)

things she signs: more, please, all done, wave, clap, kiss, "5", peekaboo, points to: head, belly, ear, and sometimes nose or mouth

If your name isn't on here yet, we're working on it. :) Jana got lucky and has a very easy name for babies to say. Libby seems to learn a new word almost everyday. She's very smart ;)

She is also almost walking. She'll let go of things voluntarily now and stand for a few seconds and will sometimes walk a couple steps if mommy is there to catch her. I'm so proud of her. She loves
to stand up and fall down in her crib or on our bed. If there's a soft landing she's very brave.
This is my current favorite picture of Libby. I had fun editing it on picnik.com. If you haven't done it before, it's pretty fun (basically free photoshop). Can't believe this little monkey turns 1 on Friday! Stay tuned for birthday pictures. We're gonna have a small party on Saturday (since Richard doesn't get home from work till 8:45pm on Friday).
