48?
Holy cow it's been seven months since we last posted. That's because you, my dear, are all mobile and talking and starting to walk and into everything. You like to crawl over to the kitchen pantry, stand up and walk the door open, then pull everything off all the shelves you can reach. If you're hungry, you may open any box that strikes your fancy and try to snack on its contents. This works well with crackers, but not so well with couscous or nuts.
49. Did I mention the talking? Your vocabulary amazes me, and you go out of your way to learn new words all the time. One of the things we hear most often is, "WHASSAT?!" and yes, you pretty much yell it.
49a. Your first word was Ellie, when you were around seven or eight months old. I forget whether it was more of an "eh" or "wee" sound, but it clearly indicated Ellie. Nowadays you tend to yell "EHWEE!!" You also said "Da-ee" and "dah [pant pant]" pretty early; "Mama" is a recent addition.
49b. I plan to make a list of your current words and post it here by the end of this week. Or, you know, seven months from now.
50. You've been walking for about a week or two now. You transitioned so gradually and so gracefully it really feels like you've always been able to walk a few feet at a time. In fact, I need to post this so I can rescue you from your non-nap and take you to Ikea to get one of those toddler push-wagon thingies.
51. But, did I mention how much you love EHWEE!!? Because you clearly adore her, and she adores you, too. Whenever you get more than one of something, you immediately hand her one. This is especially true of crayons and snacks (which you call "'nack?"). You are a sweet and generous soul and I hope you and EHWEE!! will continue to be wonderful sisters and friends as you grow.
