Baby babbles
I've been trying to teach Aly about her different body parts, and to point to them when I ask. We've done the fingers, nose, mouth, etc... she's getting the hang of it, but still mostly smiles when I ask her where something is. Occasionally she'll halfheartedly point to something in that vicinity, but she's not quite there yet.
One thing she HAS taken to rather quickly, though, is the BELLY BUTTON. She learned RIGHT AWAY about that. One day she was standing up in her crib and I said, "Where is your belly button?" She just looked at me kinda confused, so I pulled her shirt up a little and pointed to her belly button and repeated the word to her a few times. She looked down at it, then quickly pulled her shirt back down. So I pulled MY shirt up a bit and showed her my belly button, which happens to be PIERCED. lol.... So she was ALL into seeing mine, and was poking around at my belly ring. WELL... now, when I ask, "Where is YOUR belly button?" she grins really big and tries to pull my shirt up and look for MINE. Sunday in church she was trying to pull Russ's shirt up so she could see his belly button... he didn't know why she was doing that until I explained the story behind it. Too funny.
Change of subject...
She's finally starting to talk a little more now. She's saying "Hi Cody" and "Hi Lucy" (our dogs) more clearly now. You can't TOTALLY tell what she's saying, but you can hear the change in sounds. It doesn't sound like she's saying "Hi Dada" for everything now. Cody went from, "Hi Dee Dee" to "Hi Dody" and occasionally she'll pronounce the C.... so we're getting there. Lucy sounds more like "Hi Du Dee" though she did say Lucy pretty clearly earlier today. I just wish she'd start talking a little more, but I know she'll do it when she's ready. She's saying a lot more consonants and everything, so I know she's on her way, and she babbles CONSTANTLY. She has her own little conversation while she's doing things.... I only wish I knew what she was saying!
Well, I'd better try and get some sleep... there will be more updates soon :-)
