[12.3.5 = 12 months, three weeks and 5 days old]
Molly is busy, busy, busy. Here are some things she has been up to these days.
- Molly can click her tongue (as shown in photo). She is always talking in baby gibberish and using her tongue to build her speach muscles and to feel her teeth.
- She is really testing out the waters in being a full blown toddler. She started saying no-no already! She loves to climb up on Ryan’s bed, the couch and the stairs. She throws tantrums which are hilarious to watch. She has tried biting a few times when she is beyond frustrated.
- Her favorite blanket is a pink fleece that Grandma Margaret gave to her as a baby gift. The blankie has been named Pink for now. We’ll see what she calls it later. (Ry has a fleece blankie too that he named Blue.)
- She loves to eat noodles, pork chops, half frozen green peas, crackers of any kind, ice cream, scrambled eggs and Scooters (Malt-o-Meal’s fake Honey Nut Cherrios which do not have any nuts in them what-so-ever!)
- Her favorite toys are purses, little people and books. She shows interest in balls, cars (with a zoom sound-so sweet!) and of course, water play.
- She can use sign-language to say: Milk, Please, More, Want and Thirsty. We taught her some signing skills to help her communicate before/during her process in learning how to talk. Though her signs are often accompanied with a whine they have helped us in the “What do you want!??? Stop Crying!” parenting moments.
