Baby update


So it's the first Allison update I've pt on here in 6 months, which means I've missed recording a WHOLE lot of stuff. The sole motivation behind this blog was that it provided a means of recording the developments in her new life. Anyways, I'll get better.

Today she stacked some blocks on her own, and even began to clean them up all by herself! That's a pretty big deal around here. She was playing with her stacking blocks (bugs), and she started putting them back in the bag by herself. We sang the cleanup song, and I held the bag while she put all the bugs into it.

In recent weeks, she's learned to walk backwards, to sip from her cup and then go "ahhhh!", to mimic sounds, etc. She has gone through most of the sounds, from 'guh' to 'ee' to 'ah' to 'ss.' She wants to talk, but she can't just yet. She can, however, understand most things we say to her. She understands "outside," "go to your room and bring a book to read," "eat," "up/down," and so many more. She knows what a duck is by sight, and will tell you if you ask her "what's that?" She'll also tell you what noise a cow makes, although it's just a drawn out "mmmmmmm." still waiting on the "oo." So much fun.
