Haven't done a news update on this little girl for awhile and there is much to report.
We now have an avid crawler in our amidst. Umpteen times when we want her to not get into a certain place, she'll listen to me telling her not to, then go ahead with it anyway. When I go to catch her, it becomes a race. She turns around and scuttles away in a hurry, giggling in anticipation and naughtiness.
Lately she also has learnt several new gestures and tricks. But her favorite word remains "mama"! When I hear it in her baby voice, it's my favorite too.
She also knows how to wave her hand and say "ba-bye". As soon as I come home from work, she waves "ba-bye" to her nanny. We laugh at the apparent indication for her to get going now that mom is here.
The smart cookie also knows how to clap in delight. She loves to "shake" her head, which is funny. Her whole upper body shakes vehemently! This originally started when I was trying to teach her a new action. But later caught more popularity when it was discovered that shaking can be instrumental tool to avoid the persistent spoon full of baby food when one is full or otherwise unwilling. Once she's full, as soon as the spoon gets anywhere in about a feet radius, vigorous shake-the-head begins. Can't help but break into peals of laughter.
I've been trying to teach her "nod". She knows how to high-five but performance is mood dependent.
