13 months

Natalie has an ever-expanding vocabulary. These are words she has now said: Hey, Hi, Dada, Daddy, Mama, Mommy, socks, shoes, hat, hot, cheese, baby, oh, see, side (for outside), hello (when holding the phone),balloon, bubbles, light, & fish. The first half of the list are words she says constantly.......the other half of the list are words she has said a few times but not daily. Of course some of the words are her best approximation.
She tries to put her arms through her sleeves and her legs through her pants when getting dressed. She tries to put sunglasses on her face and she can put hats on her head. She knows what her toy phone and real phone are for and she holds her hand up to her ear and tilts her head to the side when you show her a phone. She has also learned the sign for "dog" (she has picked up quite a few signs from her Baby Signing Time DVD that we weren't even trying to teach her). She signs "dog" to me ALL DAY LONG as if she is hoping one will suddenly appear for her amusement!



She really enjoys pulling all her books off the shelves. She is a very busy baby these days.
