Walking and Talking

Mia finally started fully walking at 13.5 months.  She hardly ever crawls anymore and she even tries to run if she's really excited.  We also had our first real skinned knee outside yesterday and it hardly fazed her.  She's a tough little cookie.

She's also saying a lot more words lately and even better, she's understanding our words when we talk to her.  If we're in the bath tub and I ask if she wants to get out, she will put her leg over the side and try to get out.  If we are playing in the play room and I ask if she's hungry for lunch, she'll walk right over to her high chair.  If I tell her we're going bye-bye, she'll start waving to anyone in sight, including the dogs if we're at home.  It's fun to watch how much more interactive she's become.

Here is a list of words she can say pretty clearly at 14 months:
Mama
Dada

Doggy (daw-y)

Carter (either Ta-teh or sometimes Ca-ta)

Cracker (crkrrrr, there's really no vowels yet but she definitely lets us know when she wants one)

Uh-oh

All-gone (ah-gah)

Juice (jccccc, another word with zero vowels)

Baby

Ba-ba (aka sippy cup)

Book (booh)

Bye-bye (buh-buh)

Mmmmmmm (which she says after she eats ANYTHING!)
