Evie now does laps in the house. No longer tripped up by the change in flooring (she used to dive into a crawl upon hitting the linoleum in the kitchen), she can tear up many sq feet without having to stop & take a break. She, I would confidently now say, is a full fledged walker.
She does, of course, go slow while walking. She has a rock back/forth motion to her walk and she likes to have something in her hands for balance. Today was her outdoor test. She trotted slowly across the parking lot (as dad will vouch)... but she did walk without resorting to her once comfortable scoot.
Evie has recently taking a new fascination with her tongue. She will sling her tongue outward and wriggle it side to side while working on a project. For those of you who have seen daddy work on an illustration... the answer as to where she learned this ... may not be hard to find.
Evie's vocubulary now consists of:
"Doh!" = an expletive used to point to dogs or anything that looks like a dog. An expletive used to point out things that are new or need explaination... and explaination generally means, "hand me that!"
"Geergh!" = George. The cat next door.
"Da-da! Da-da!" = Dad claims this is him. Used interchangeably as a generic attention getter.
Evie's understanding consists of:
"Yes?" = This is a retoricle question mom tends to ask. Nod your head and she'll act excited.
"No!" = A word mom uses but never truly means. Repeat undesired action to hear again.
"Milk?" = Reach for sippy cup and shake head when you are finished... its a signal for mom to put back in the fridge.
"Moo-Cow" = If not currently in my arms than look perplexed and mom will tear up the house to go find.
"Bye-Bye!" = Open & close hands repeatedly and mom gets excited.
"Evie" = Make eye contact and mom/dad will stop saying this word.
