I have a lot to blog about, but haven't gotten around to downloading any of the pictures or video from the camera, recently. Last Saturday was Samuel's birthday party, and his actual birthday was Monday. There are a number of other posts kicking around in my head, too. So we'll start out with one that doesn't require me to get out the camera.
Shira will be 11 months old in two days and I swear that she is already talking. I've already mentioned her prodigious non verbal communication skills, but I'm pretty sure she has said all of the following words in the appropriate context more than once:
Dada - Steve gets to hear this one quite a bit
Mama - this one is much newer, but she is definitely working on it
Hi - with wave
Bye - also with wave
All done - mostly used to indicate she is done eating, sometimes to let us know she wants off the potty
Poop - I swear Shira looked at me a couple of days ago and said "poop", then clapped her hands (she does that as a sign for pooping sometimes, I gather because I frequently sing and clap with her to keep her occupied while she's on the potty). I put her on the potty, and she proceeded to poop. Steve is dubious she intentionally said "poop", but I stand by it.
She tries to say strawberry, but doesn't really get anywhere close. And she has something that she always says when she sees Samuel, I think she's trying to say his name, but it is completely unintelligible.
She is brilliant! Brilliant, I say!
Walking is clearly nowhere on the horizon, she can stand if placed next to something to hold on to. She isn't pulling herself up yet, or cruising, but boy is she a talker!
