As of 12 months (and 13 months) Lily is still not walking. Nor is she showing any interest of walking. She is just now starting to stand on her own without hold on to anything for balance. In her defense, she has tiny little barely size two feet. We aren't in any hurry. She is quite mobile and is filthy by the end of the day.
She is becoming less and less picky at meal time eating lots more; both in variety and quantity. Unfortunately, I think we might be regressing with our milk intake. But today alone she had cereal, applesauce, acorn squash, peas, cheese, green beans, grapes, zucchini casserole, and of course, gold fish crackers. She is doing really well with her signing; more, please, all done, eat. It really is adorable. I think Daddy would give her just about anything if she signed "please" after asking.
And I know she understands me and my tone of voice. She obeys (sometimes) when I ask/tell her to do something. She jumps when I catch her doing something wrong. She has already begun the defiance of watching me while she is doing something wrong to see how I will react. This is most commonly seen in the Battle of the Hair Bow. I put the clip in, she puts her hand up just hoovering over the bow, not actually touching it, and watching me, waiting for me to say no or flick her hand. Sigh. This is the main reason we have started the pig tails; well, that and they are just too cute.
Her vocabulary is growing, too. Besides hot dog and all done, she says Bye, Meow, Bubba, Mama, Dad, and Bebe (her name for GlowWorm, not ours.) In fact when she is ready for bed or a nap, she starts asking for Bebe. She is getting closer to saying Charlie, but Bubba is so much easier. In fact, all dogs are called Bubba.
After two viruses exactly 4 weeks apart we seem to be healthy again. She has had a rough first year. Here is to hoping year two is healthier than the first.
She is hysterical and completely nuts. We love it!
