After two weeks of zestfully exploring her ability to stand, squat, and walk in between the furniture, K has been clingy today. I had to tie her into her Ellaroo twice to sooth her (and get my hands free to homeschool with.) She is cutting eye teeth. She hasn’t been sleeping much in the last two weeks. (Neither have I of course) Still, it’s flattering to be my independent baby’s cuddle-er of choice.

Ooo… I love it when the concepts of Bye and Dog and Dada get transfered to the bigger world! Yea! Yesterday P kept circling back to the dogfood bowls at our friends' house and signing "dog" even though the dogs weren't there eating. I can't believe how fast this year flew by.
Blessings!
