Grandma and Grandpa Davis joined us at Indy’s weekly music class. Drums were heavily featured that day
First Shake
April 21, 2013
The day after our wedding, Mike, Indy and I went out and celebrated with chocolate shakes. Indy was very impressed and was quite the shake hog, downing nearly a third of the shake. Yum.
Under (Re)Construction
Posterous, the service we have been using to host all of our fun Indy updates, is shutting down as of April 30th. So we are working on converting the site to use WordPress. It should be fully transmogrified soon!
I Can Feed Myself!
This week, we tried giving in to Indy’s dinner-time requests to give her the bowl and spoon. The result was her successfully figuring out how to use them. In this video, she is helping herself to one of her favorite dishes – split pea soup. We were duly impressed.
Shoe!
This morning Indy picked up her shoe, held it in the air and declared “shoe!”, we were most proud. She also picked up two pair of undies and put them on as neckwear, as she does most days. Cute can be gross at the same time.
Indy’s words to date:
Hi, bye, kitty, daddy, mo (more), ba tie (bath time), see you (often said directly after bye), ACB, Q, TUV (as in the alphabet), shoe, O’s (as in Cherrios), Cherrios, changies, mil (milk), up, tree (as in 1,2,3!), teet (teeth). We’ve heard her say a lot of other words as a mimic, but not often repeated over and over.
She can recite these animals sounds as an onomatopoeia when asked: cow, sheep, dog, cat, bird, very occasionally chicken and rooster. Ducks are birds to Indy. And they are said “doot-doot”
She can point to her belly button, teeth, nose, toes, legs and arms when asked where they are.
She reads constantly and will bend your ear at any given moment. The best is when she brings a book over and plops down in your lap and reads to you.
Today she broke through her two last remaining molars on the lower jaw, she just has one more set up on the top and we can all be done with teething! Hooray!
Spoon and Bowl
Indy often “cooks” while walking around with a bowl and spoon, stirring constantly, but its all pretend. Lately, I’ve been giving her a bowl and a spoon for more self-feeding practice. She’s getting pretty good! Spaghetti was a leap of faith, one that had lots of good photo-ops.
