16 mos: words and babbles

I am a year out of touch with our blog! I will try to add dated posts from the past year...

So an update to what we have going on right now: Brie is walking fully. We're past "come on, Brie, you can walk!" and onto "Walk! Don't run! Walk!!"

She took her first few steps when she was 9 1/2 months. She was already cruising then, holding on to the crib rail or on to the side of the bed/couch to walk side ways. Come to think of it, she barely crawled.

Brie's younger relative, Kaidon, who is now 10 months old is crawling so much, it's amazing! It's a good thing Brie didn't crawl as much because we didn't have the floor space for it!

Brie is also talking! Some of the words she has on her vocabulary:

1. Mummy (mommy)
2. Daddy
3. Kahga (karga; "lift" for getting picked up)
4. Dede (dede; "milk")
5. Manya-manya-manya (manyaman; "delicious")
6. Ba (bath)
7. Baa (bottle; yes, there's a difference)
8. Latta (laptop)
9. Yes *nod*
10. Naah (no)
11. Naw-muh (no more) and Na-na (wala na; which means the same thing)
12. Daapaa (diaper)
13. Baw-pee (ballpen)
14. Bye-bye
15. Byuuu ('love you)
16. Baaawww (ball)
17. Nana (banana)
18. Memo (lemon)
19. Buk (book)
20. Pliiii (please)
21. Teytey (thank you)
22. Waya? (what's that?)
23. Ska (star)
24. Animal sounds that all kinda sound the same with different intonations and accents: moo, oink, meow, ow-ow, quack

She does this one thing while on her high chair... I think she's reenacting a conversation between the two of us but she plays both parts. She'll throw something down the floor and say "No no!" then pause and say "Pliii!" (please). I feel like she's telling me about the times I would tell her "No" when she wants to throw things on the floor. It's absolutely adorable.

One last thing for this post. Brie has gotten taller! I think it's time to start tracking her height... I just couldn't decide on how to do it. I want to track it on something that I can take with me when we move.
