In the last month. . .

Bliss drinks from straws, walks, runs, and has 2 teeth.

Once one ottoman is placed in front of the stairs, 

and the other blocks the entertainment center glass doors in conjunction with her highchair, 

she has almost all the freedom in the world. 

She either knows what they mean, and/or says the following words:

Clock, book, kitty, dog, duck, bubbles, snack, more, binky, soft, banana, num nums, lights, hair, toes, nose, eyes, belly button (although sometimes confused with nipples), no, hi, bye, splash, pretty.  

I was letting her snack on Golden Grahams the other night while we waited for Dad to come home.

She walked over to my knees, 
took out her binky, 
said "Mo", 
put the binky back in 
and waited for me to give her more bear cookies.

Little did I know, she was secretly feeding them to the dogs.

She is excellent at sharing, and will let you have a drink from her sippy anytime you want.  
She will also try to feed you.

She's a sponge.  Learns new things daily, pushes her boundaries, and surprises us with new words.
