Okay, I don't have any pictures to post at this point, but thought I should do a little update on Katie's talking. We have reached a milestone. This weekend marked the beginning of Katie being able to verbalize her disapproval of getting helped. Instead of an unhappy grunt this weekend started "No Mommy do it, Katie do it!" Since Auntie Bevin was around every once in a while it was "No Mommy do it, Auntie do it". It is so funny to hear her insisting "NO, Katie do it", but I know it was only a matter of time.
She's getting to be a really good talker! She now has several songs that she will "sing" for us. She now has a pretty complete version of "Ring Around the Rosy", that includes the actions. She knows the line "No more monkeys jumping on the bed", she's a little confused with "Baa, Baa Black Sheep" and "Twinkle Twinkle" so she sings "Baa baa sheep, how I wonder, how I wonder". She mimicks everything we say - which makes me say some silly things just to hear her little voice working on armadillo and avacado, etc. She loves to chime in words while we're singing, and tell us exactly what she wants ("No this way" "No that cup"). It's pretty amazing to hear the words just pouring out of her now. Our favourite recently has been "Ssshhh, Katie sleeping - Wakey wakey Katie!"
