Whitney's Turn

OK--since I wrote the funny things Kallie has done lately, I needed to write down some of Whitney's accomplishments lately.

First of all, she's REALLY picking up on signing. Her latest sign word is "noodles". It's just swirling your pinky fingers away from each other like a spiral noodle--but when Whitney does it, her arms and entire body get into it, so she looks like she's doing the Funky Chicken. It's hilarious!

Whitney has also started to say a few words here and there. Nothing consistent yet, but she has definitely said, "no," "done," and "night-night." It's exciting to watch her try these things out.

The last thing is that Whitney is finally starting to show an interest in walking. Kallie walked at 12 1/2 mos., but was free standing in the middle of the floor at 11 1/2 mos. Whitney still won't stand on her own, but has recently started to push her "walky toy" around the house. She also loves to push anything stable and slidable across the floor. I'm just hoping that she'll decide walking's the way to go before too long. I'm tired of carrying her!
