I don’t know where to begin with an update on what Laurel has been up to, but let’s start with food.
Eat… Eat…Eat….
William and I hear those words all day long. I think Laurel eats more than William and I combined…seriously. How she is only in the 40th percentile with her weight is beyond me. Don’t I wish I had her metabolism! Laurel will eat pretty much anything, but her favorites are probably waffles and bread. She loves her carbs! She does eat most fruits and veggies too and has recently become a fan of bananas and strawberries.
Words…
Laurel is starting to say a few more words and is learning basic vocabulary like the sounds animals make. Her favorite animal has to be a duck. That seemed to be one of her first words. She can also say cow and dog and make their respective sounds. She cannot say horse, but she knows the horse says “neigh… neigh”. She knows her body parts and loves blinking her eyes when we ask where her eyes are :-). She also knows basics like mommy, daddy, baby, ball, milk, etc.. My favorite thing is when we read her alphabet book and we get to “i is for ice cream” and she says, “yum yum yum”. I’m telling you, the girl LOVES food. She has only had ice cream twice, but if it looks like edible… she likes it.
At daycare, she seems to enjoy reading time, music time, and outdoor time. Oh… and of course all meals 🙂 They comment on her ability to sign words and “more” is her favorite word to sign.
Well… I am running out of steam, but as you can probably tell, Laurel is staying busy. William has been begging me to post for weeks, but I can never type just one or two sentences and seem to write novels every time I make a post, but I think I will stop to keep from boring everyone.
We recently took a trip to the Dallas Arboretum to visit the pumpkin patch and see the Chihuly exhibit, so we’ll post those photos soon.
