Speech/Language: Her language skills far outpace her speech skills; I think this will be the last month that I can actually list out all her spoken words, and I can't even begin to list those she's understanding - she can follow directions well, and seems to know at least one new concept each day; as for her current repertoire:
Dada, mama, papa, duh (dog, duck, airplane sounds, anything unknown), nana, hot, hat, kakuh (cracker) guhguh (guitar), puh (pear), buh (bath, bed, ball, boat, bib, book, beer), nuhnuh (nose), nono (for things she's not supposed to touch), muh (Max, mouth, vaccum), mm (arm, mail) nuh (milk, Soothie), duhduh (toes), ah (eyes), up, home, daydee (baby), puhpu (applesauce, please), buhbuh (diaper, belly/button), mmmm (I'm hungry), wuf (woof), mow (meow); vrooms when pushing her car; inconsistently attempts to oink, quack, and choo-choo, when whining and asked to use her nice voice she points to her noise and says "puh puh"
Signs/Gestures: so big, blows kisses, please (she invented a sign where she points to her noise), thank you, love, waves, points, winks, more, all done, gives hugs and kisses
Motor: walks with walker or finger for support, climbs up and down stairs, crawls and bear walks, rolls and throws balls, likes to crawl under or squeeze behind things, dances, climbs on top is us to ride like a horse
Likes: getting what she wants, saying "mama" when asked "who's your homie?", daddy playing guitar, push toy, stirring, digging, identifying her head/hair/ears/nose/mouth/arm/belly/knees/feet/toes; making friends with strangers (but only when she feels like it); putting things in and out, climbing up and down the stairs, pretend rubbing lotion on her legs, playing in the kitchen drawers and cupboards; asks to go outside/for a walk, swinging, airplane and truck sounds; splashing in her water table; crackers -she talks about them all.the.time; naked crawling after bath; whining noises for attention/help
Dislikes: being denied crackers, sitting in her high chair for more than 6 minutes, green veggies, laying still for diaper changes, not getting what she wants
Physical: 8 teeth - one of them now chipped, strawberry blonde hairs, smiles really big with a wrinkled nose, Buddha belly, wearing mostly 12 month onesies but some 12-18 month clothing, wears Robeez shoes 6-12 months, at the dr. on 6/2/13 she weighed 20 lbs 5 oz
Sleep: naps about 2 hours twice daily; regularly sleeps through the night, about 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m.; sleeps in her crib with her Soothie and surrounded by blankets, but doesn't like to have any blankets on top of her; usually cries a bit when we first put her down for a nap or the night, but then lays herself down and goes to sleep; seems like she might be toying with the idea of downgrading to just one nap
Eating: likes to feed with spoon but needs help loading spoon; drinks mostly from straw (still coughs when too big if a gulp); spent the first three weeks of this month as a very picky eater, but has since regained her appetite; favorite foods include; crackers and pretzels, applesauce, pears scrambled/hard-boiled eggs, yams, oatmeal, cereal in milk, beans, string cheese, apple, banana, oranges; nurses 3 to 5 times daily, is not drinking any other milks
Other: her attention span is increasing; she plays with more purpose; and she plays alone for longer periods of time; likes to observe others more than necessarily interacting with them; smiles with a wrinkle in her nose; turns BRIGHT pink/ red when warm; will tolerate sunglasses or a hat for a bit longer
