She seems to be trying with her words too. She very loudly says "Dah!" and points to the dog every time she sees a dog in the house (which in our house is OFTEN) or on TV or in a book. She also says "at" for cat. I'm teaching her book too. Since she brings me a book to read her every two seconds I figured that would be a good word for her. She is getting it and saying "baw" when I say book. She is really making the effort to try and say words when I ask her to, and of course she still babbles gibberish to herself all the time too.
Now we just have to get her to add the last consonants onto the words she knows! Hmmm....how to make her do that? No idea. Just keep practicing I presume.
Nick, Gabi, and I had a nice afternoon on Sunday. We went to the Children's Museum and then out to lunch afterwards. G had a ball at the museum, as expected, and really got wore out. We spent some time in the infant/todder room first. There was a big tower with plexiglass walls, slides, kitchen stuff, and all sorts of toys. There is also a big water table/river type thing but we'll wait until Gabs is 2 or 3 before attempting that. Gabi is pro at going down the stairs all by herself now. She climbed with stairs up the tower, banged on the plexi walls, and then sat down - turned around - and slid back down the stairs on her tummy without any help from us. That was the most exciting thing for her....because it's not like we have stairs at HOME or anything....hahaha.... We walked and walked around the rest of the museum too, though most everything else was for bigger kids. Gabi had a ball just walking and walking wherever she wanted and we just followed. She was so funny though - the museum building was very old and whenever the floors transitioned from wood to tile she would sidestep or even crawl over the transition. Thumbs up for being cautious, I guess?
We had all had enough after a while and went out to a late lunch. Gabi was walked out and hungry at that point, so it made for a great lunch! She sat very nice and wolfed down food as fast as she could.
I used the "walked til she's worn out" approach again today. It was sunny and not *bitterly* cold this afternoon, so I got a hat, coat, and mittens on Gabi and took her outside. We had so much fun walking up and down the sidewalk! She loved the walking of course, and she pointed at everything she saw "dat...dat!". I would say the word and she would try too. I got quite cold and eventually took her inside. She wasn't a fan of that, but went right down for a nap. :)
Standing on her chair and eating my lens cap....pure heaven.
Baby locks are good.
Looking for dirt under the rug.....probably found some.

The picture of your dog is awesome! I always have such a hard time making my dog pictures turn out.
Gabi is also adorable :-)
I always love your pictures! She is a doll :)
Great pictures, as always. Kaia LOVES going outside so I can only imagine how much more into it she's going to be when she can walk! Hopefully this summer :)
