New Tricks

She brushes her hands off when she falls and when she is done with her food. My mom started teaching her this as the sign that she was done with her food. So, she started doing that yesterday, and then today at the park she kept falling in the bark. She would whine and wiggle her hands in the air trying to get it off of her fingers. So, I taught her that all she needed to do was brush them off and she got it!

She can find her belly button, toes, and hair now! It took her about 5 minutes this evening for her to learn the toes and hair!

She can blow kisses. She is great at getting her hand to her mouth, just not so great at pulling it away.

She has become very vocal. She makes a ton of loud, random noises, making most of the people listening to her crack up. They are just so abrupt and sometimes it's just perfect timing.

She has become very friendly to strangers. Well, not everyone. She did scream bloody murder when we got in the elevator with a stranger today. But other than that, she has been very social! She waved at all the people we passed on campus today and loves to wave out the window when we are driving.
