Pea turned one during my blogging hiatus and oh, how she’s changed. She’s still as demanding as ever and continues to receive passing scores on the high needs spectrum. But she’s much more independent since she started walking a couple of months ago…at least for a few minutes at a time. The other minutes in the hours of every day continue to be filled with her not-so-secret goal of fusing herself to my hip (I know, all of you IRL “friends” are laughing and wondering where I got the ludicrous notion that I have hips…whatever).
Believe it or not, I’m still thrilled that I get to spend every day watching her turn in to the little mischievous imp that she is. So here’s what she’s been up to and her current favorite things to do:
She has learned to:
- walk and shimmy sideways
- listen to, respond, and selectively ignore things in Spanish and English
- sleep through the night (this will be its own post later!)
- throw a ball (Favorite’s very proud)
- flirt and hang out with Jack
- make animal sounds that all suspiciously sound like a monkey…or a cow
She currently loves to:
- say “no” while shaking her head (WTF, did she accidentally turn two?)
- smoosh hug The Kittens
- play with dirt and rocks (she doesn’t even put them in her mouth anymore)
- clap and dance with the toy on the fridge
- read books (it’s okay to be jealous because she’s that advanced)
- snack on avocados and kitten food
- go afuera (outside)
She has come a long way…

You’ll have to call me soon so I can get the latest on any questionable behavior you may have been involved in. Can’t wait!
Comment by avill7 August 22, 2008 @ 2:10 pmWow, two posts in one month! That’s a record!
Your daughter is too cute. I can’t believe she’s already over a year old.
Comment by Daddy Dan August 22, 2008 @ 6:30 pmDon’t call it a comeback…
Thanks, we think so too! Neither can I…that first b-day snuck up on me. Your Babito is getting big too…2 years old soon – wow!
Comment by Ana August 23, 2008 @ 1:17 amHow adorable! She has grown just in the few months (okay, 2 months, maybe less!!) that I have known you! Don’t forget she also shares with Jack sometimes, gives him besos, and attempts to pick him up even though they are the exact same size!!
Comment by valben August 23, 2008 @ 2:27 amI love it! She is getting so big! Miss you “OG”
Comment by Summer August 23, 2008 @ 6:03 pmThe whole fused to the hip thing…gotta love it. Those few minutes of walking, when not fused, are quite the freedom!
