Valerie’s First Word
No, not one she says, but one she unquestionably, enthusiastically understands.
Bath.
Well, she appears to have learned her name, but that’s not a “word.” Nor has it been obvious until I just tested her response.
If you say bath she gets all excited and giggles and assumes she is going to get a bath ASAP. If this is not forthcoming, she gets unhappy. We now have to avoid using the word casually around her. We figured this out yesterday when she managed to get herself a second bath in the same day.
In other antics, she managed to get herself most of the way out of her car seat, which she spends a lot of time sitting in, unstrapped, in the house. When she was to the point of only her shoulder blades and above still in contact with the seat, Deb helped her sit up on the floor and scooted the seat so she could be on the carpet. Where she roams surprisingly far for not even being able to crawl yet (though that’s a close thing, when she does tummy time).
I have a bunch of pictures I should post soon, including when she did her first rollover, from above showing her on her belly, then at floor level showing how mad she was about being stuck face down.
