Matilda is in Dog Heaven here in NY. She is feeling better now and all the new stimulation is really challenging her to learn new skills. In the past week she has gone from a very vague pointing gesture to a demanding one fingered point to get the fan turned on, more food, Daddy to sing more, and any number of other things. She is getting more vocal and we have heard attempts at both "cat" and "dog" this week. It is also amazing how fast she is learning labels as she can now find many items (such as fan, cat, dog, mom, dad, G-pop) when asked. The dogs are also good incentive for locomotion as she attempts to chase them. She has gotten really good at free standing and today she took what might be called a step as she lunged after a dog toy. Everyone keeps saying she is really close to walking but I have sworn them all to secrecy if she starts walking next week. Daddy would never forgive us if he missed the first steps!
