1 year, 5 months

Gone are the days where Keillor and I would sit still for several pictures. Even in my cast, I'm trying to crawl all over him. Here the best that Dad got this morning:

 Lick attack!

News from the month:
My understanding of words seems to have grown exponentially over the last few weeks. I'm still not saying a ton of words, but I usually understand what you're saying. Especially if you're asking me to do something. For example, I know what "Honey, please top ripping the pages of the book" means. I know what "Please set your bottle upright" means. And I know what "Keillor has had enough Cheerios" means.  Ok fine, I know lots of positive things, too. Dad has been working on identifying trees with me and I'm getting good at brushing my hair back when asked.

I'll also say any word you ask me to say. It just might not sound right to your ears. 

We've made several trips over to the Regis campus to watch the college baseball and softball recently. I enjoy the softball the best because the ladies are always yelling and cheering and they play my kind of dance music between batters and between innings. Dad wonders if I'll still sit still at the games once I'm out of the cast. We'll let you know in a few weeks!

I'm still a good eater and I enjoy feeding myself using my little fork. I usually need Mom or Dad's help getting the food on the fork, but I've surprised myself a few times when I've stabbed the avocado without any help. Don't worry, the avocado was already dead before I stabbed it.

My upper body strength continues to grow, as well. I have fun on my scooter, but I'm also comfortable just pulling myself around on the floor.

I'll be out of my cast in two weeks. I'm looking forward to getting back to crawling and dancing!
