Anna update
Super-quick update on Anna’s progress…she’s walking! She doesn’t do it ALL the time and she’s still pretty cautious, but she’s most certainly getting around more and more on two feet. Of course, we are excited beyond belief. Her physical therapist says that in a couple of weeks she expects Anna to be walking pretty much all the time. I guess that’s our cue to finish all the child proofing.
In other news, Anna had her 15-month check-up on the 15th of June. She weighs 23 lbs and is 32 1/2 inches tall (50th and 97th percentiles, respectively). Everything seems to be going well developmentally, and I hope I’m not jinxing this by saying that her ears look good! Let’s hope we don’t have to battle any summer ear infections.
Anna is finally acquiring some words! No longer is everything “bah” - she now says “Dada” and “Mama”, “Bir” (bird), “Dat” (cat), “Ba” (bath), “Buh” (book), “tic” (tickle), “go”, etc. As you can see, we don’t really have any final consonants, but I think those will come with time. She’s also picked up a ton of signs - dad, mom, rabbit, bird, dog, book, drink, shhh, sleep, please, more, food, cat, cow, gorilla, telephone, etc. I’ve learned quite a few signs myself in the past couple months! When I’ll ever need the sign for elephant, I’ll never know.
That’s about it for now…I hope to capture a “walking” video in the near future. I’ll be sure to post it if I can catch her in the act.
