They're Here!

Her last 2 teeth have cracked through (her eye teeth)! I've gotta tell ya, she's been a champ with this whole teething thing. I still can remember RW going through weeks of pain - it was traumatizing.

"More"

Lisa (Robbie's Dayhome provider) has a little one year old who she's been taking care of for a couple months now. She's been teaching her to sign and Robbie's obviously been watching. Tonight at the dinner table Robbie asked Lana if she wanted more broccoli as he's making the sign for it. Lone behold, she started signing! She even did it in the bathtub. I took a break from blowing bubbles so that I could scrub her down - she made it crystal clear, through signing, that she wanted more bubbles!

Good job teacher Robbie!!

Girly Lana

Here's Miss Lana this morning. My plan was to change her diaper and get her dressed... I got as far as getting rid of her dirty diaper when she got up and grabbed her pink shoes. I put them on her and she was off! After a little bit I was able to get a diaper on her but she made it well known that she wanted to wear her purple sweater that Grammie made her.

Just got in the pool, Lana's unsure.

Trying to get her to blow bubbles, no success... yet.

She wanted lots of hugs to feel secure - not a prob!

Mommy's super proud of her little girl doing a back float!

All done! Good job Lana!!

Swim Class

Lana had her first class and it was a great success! She did an assisted back float (while putting her ears in the water!) and went under water for a split second!!

Pictures to follow.

So Smart!

Miss Lana still has a runny nose from a head cold that she's had since last week. I had put the tissues on the windowsill because it's close to the toy area for easy access. I asked her to bring me a tissue to wipe her nose and sure enough she trotted over there, picked up the tissue box and brought it to me! I clean up her nose and ask her to put the tissue into the garbage.... what does she do? Walks over to the garbage pail, opens the lid and drops the tissue in!!!

She's a year and three months.
