Lilah is crawling a bit, often backwards or around in circles but sometimes forward too. She is very happy to be mobile. She says “bababa” and “ah bwa” and makes all sorts of crazy noises, especially when Gavin or her Daddy is doing something exciting. She’s almost able to sit herself up, but not quite there. However she can stay sitting for a long time now and she enjoys the new higher view of the world.

Gavin is talking more and more. Today I noticed him say at least four words I’d never heard before. He said “lion”, “sweatshirt”, “choose” and “clock”. His frequently used words are getting clearer by the day. When he is tired and trying to delay bedtime he now says ” want jui-cooki-chips-crackers-jui-cheese-juuuuiii???” in a very pleading sort of tone because he isn’t really hungry or thirsty at all and can’t decide what item off the menu to request. He also frequently has the sads now (he says “have sads” ) which is upsetting to hear often but so great that he is communicating about his feelings!
