Well, folks, it has happened. My little newborn baby girl has turned into a toddler. I am just realizing this now, because I think I have been in denial up until this point!
With my first, I was so anxious for him to do each new thing and reach each new stage… but this time around, I find I want my baby to stay a baby more than I did with Joshua. Not that I want Joshua to “hurry up and grow up”, nor that I don’t get excited with each new thing Dominique learns to do, but I think you get my feeling.
In these pictures, you can see that she has learned to build towers with megablocks as well. 🙂
She has been much later at learning to talk than what Joshua was, but that is okay with us, as he keeps our ears busy enough. 🙂 But, her vocabulary is increasing, slowly but surely. She can say
mama, papa, baby, uh-oh, uh-uh (for no), and her new one is “hot”. In addition, she does sign language for please, more, water, eat, mama, up, all done and poo-poo. Maybe others too, that I cant think of right now.
But speaking of doing sign language for poo-poo, she has been consistently telling me when she has business to take care of, with enough time for me to get her to the bathroom and do it there! I think she will be an easy one to graduate to potty trained status! yeah! If she has no diaper on, she usually tells me when she has to pee too. So, my plan is to wait until May or so when it is warmer, leave her bottom-less for a couple days and do full-time potty training then. Hopefully all goes according to the plan! 🙂
Just had to make a post to brag on my little one a little bit, mostly for the grandparent’s benefit! Thanks for “bearing with me”!! :-)~
