Evelyn changes more slowly now such that I don’t always have anything to report at the month mark.

How about a vocabulary update? No real sentences yet (like me), but at least she has a pretty wide vocabulary (unlike Josh who didn’t talk until he was two).

Hello, hi, hey, heggo! (here you go), baaaach? (bath), bocka (block), appo (apple), gucka (cracker), haaaaaaam?, bayguh (bagel), nana (banana), bockli (broccoli), ticken (chicken), cheethe (cheese), bye, ba-ba (milk), wa-wa (water), mama (that’s me!), papa, home, go, shoooo, shirt, sack, sick (sock), doh bi (don’t bite), tackoo (thank you), she-she (computer, was supposed to be Sa-Sa but due to iChat, she’s gotten confused), *loud screaming* (something is displeasing me greatly, please fix it),

and of course… NO!

We can have little conversations with her which makes life much easier at least for simple things like food and drink.

“Do you want an banana?”
“No.”
“Do you want a bagel?”
“No.”
“Do you want an apple?”
“Appo!”

Etc.

Sometimes she has something to say and wants the whole world to hear it. Like the other day when she went out on the (now completely empty) balcony and let the entire downtown core know that biting is not nice. I could hear it echoing off of the other buildings.

She continues to enjoy daycare now that the fighting is under control. Thanks to mastering spit-takes, she usually comes home in a different outfit from the one she left home in.

Now that we’ve cleared out a good bit of space, I’m trying to find a little slide/climbing thing for her to have indoors for when the weather gets bad. I’m sure something will turn up on Craigslist.
