I have tried teaching her to say "cheese" so she might at least look a little more like she is smiling, but this is a happy look for her, no doubt about it.
So what's new for Irene?
*It doesn't seem new now, but she wasn't walking at 12 months and she is toddle running now. She is fast...and fearless. She takes off in whatever direction fancies her and I scurry behind. Actually, what I try to do is outrun her and meet up in the direction she is going. I'm not sure if she knows where I've come from, but she likes it.
*She has more words, but still only a few that are really understandable. She signs some and points and nods a lot. It is usually crystal clear what she is asking for.
*Her first set of molars is in - hallelujah! That was character building.
Another thing she is doing is potty training. Actually I am doing the training and she is complying with it from time to time. I never potty trained a child this young, so I don't know what to expect and I'm keeping my expectation low. Why and how is a whole other conversation, so I will skip it. What we have found in the process is that Irene LOVES zebras! She can sit for an amazingly long time and look at pictures of zebras. The kids and I joke that when she is older she is going to need to pee every time she sees a zebra and wonder why!
I'll bet you do like the bath and hot tea! Me too!
