Increasing Vocabulary = Tired Momma

Lark can now do small sentences. She recently told me she wants to go to the park. "Babee gogogogogo puh".

She's also eating often. She particularily likes cherries (stolen from Grammy) and grapes. Life is easier when I wait until she wants food and can handle small chunks of it.

She just got over a wicked flu (lasting from last Thursday until Monday) and we finally got to see Uncle Kyle again. Lark's been clingy since I helped my last doula client labor (which lasted roughly 9 hours). Lark's been doing well with her Auntie Kelsey babysitting with Momma and Dadda in the house playing games in the kitchen. She's also started nursing her baby dollies and showing a specific preference for things by speaking. She's learned to shake her head for no, and to say Yesh or Yah.

More later, barely have time on computer nowadays :)

Heat Fussies

So Lark's been clingy like a creeper vines since Randy went back to work....sigh. Having Dadda home for 9 days makes her really miss him when he's gone now....Plus she's trying to scale back to one nap a day, which means we have about 2 hours before bedtime thast she tries to go to sleep during (but if we let her, she'll be awake in an hour and not go back down 'til 10pm or 11pm)

I'm going nutty!

On the plus side, we got to see Grampy again to cheer him up after surgery, and Auntie Kelsey's sitting with Roni (my old student) for Larklet this Sunday so I can game with the boys. afterwards I'm going for a MUCH NEEDED Mom's Night Out to Melting Pot in Irvine :)

Lark is verbalizing much better, she is really getting good at saying Go and her signs are getting clearer, she will not just do them on command, she can instigate with them, like she tries to open a can and can't and looks up at me and says Mama and signs Help. It's awesome to watch her brain develop.

Got some more EBB clothies too....I loooove the doggy one, she is constantly rubbing the dipe against her face (clean) and pointing out the dogs on there when she's wearing it :P :)

Oh and Lark ate an apple on Monday :) Her first real food :D

Up Sparkles!

Lark can climb! She discovered the wonderful world of ladders on our vacation with my mom last week.

She also reliably asks to take a nap when she's tired or wants to go to bed at night. She will make her questioning squeak and point the direction 'til we get to the bedroom then she'll point to the bed and look at me and make the Sleepy sign then squeak inquiringly again.

She also loves going out in her jogging strollers.

Sign Sentences

Lark signed Please and Help and then said Dadda. She's getting smarter everyday. She actively tries to do things now and when she can't she signs Help quickly. She can also Meow like a kitty :)
See?
