1. We taught Sylvia to say "Bacon!" She now says it at every opportunity, to great applause and delight from us.
2. She loves "Itsy Bitsy Spider" (it had fallen out of favor, replaced by "Wheels on the Bus") now that she can sing along with the very last word of the song ... "ahhhh-gain!"
3. Tonight, she stood by herself and raised a toy over her head, totally pleased with the situation. Then she stood alone a few more times throughout the evening, just for kicks.
4. She LOVED the ocean in Naples. We stood at the edge and she walked in as far as I'd let her and then stood there holding my hand while the waves splashed into her and pushed her around. She sat down and picked up fistfuls of wet sand to show me (and she ate some). She loved it. Just loved it.
5. She still has very little hair. We love that.
6. Magda taught her to do air kisses. ADORABLE.

Glad we could partake in the "bacon" education :) I love how she "directs" with her hands when you sing the itsy bitsy spider Liz.
ReplyDeleteHah! Me too ;)
ReplyDeleteWeird double-cousin notes: There was an argument about bacon among the children (chiefly Bernadette not wanting bacon for breakfast and Isaiah and Kateri shouting out bacon to drive her nuts) last night at dinner (and before I read this post). Also, Kateri has been singing itsy bitsy spider. And, of course, massive cuteness in your post.
ReplyDeleteOh dear. They are connected telepathically. We don't stand a chance.
