All Things Supercinski

Our girl is keeping us on our toes and in smiles these days. Her communication and walking skills have developed so much this month. While I would not say that Annalise is walking, she is very close, and not for lack of determination. If sheer determination made this girl walk, she would be. Walking is her first mode of travel (most of the time). She will stand up in the middle of the room, take a few steps and fall, then crawl the rest of the way or try again. She is able to walk farther and farther–from one piece of furniture to another or to a wall for balance.

Annalise started signing a lot this month, too. She signs shoes, hat, all done, more, ball, fish, dog, and bird. I checked out one of the Baby Signing Time dvds from the library. It only keeps her engaged for about 4 minutes, so I know she has only learned “hat” from that dvd, though Josiah has had a great refresher. Her favorite thing to say, and she says it a hundred times a day, is, “all done, Momma!” which sounds like “aaaa duuuu Ma!”

This girl loves to eat and will eat most things that she is given, if she is hungry. She loves to eat with a spoon and if you poke her food with a fork, she will eat twice as much.

We are in the middle of transitioning from two naps a day to one nap a day, one of my least favorite phases. I am praying for flexibility since our routine is changing and not the same from day-to-day. Hopefully the transition will be a quick one.
