Learning, what a beautiful thing

There is a lot of learning happening. You are into climbing on everything. The sofa, chairs (into standing position !), up and down the stairs, etc. Pretty amazing to see you pull yourself up like that.

You are starting to follow directions really well. When I ask you, "where is your drink/milk" you go and get your sippy cup from wherever you left it; "go get another book to read," you know to go to the book shelf and grab another book; "come sit next to Mama to read," you come and sit next to me; "where is the elephant?" and you find it out of all your other stuffed animals. It's awesome to see you process that information and make the connection. Your response to "No" is another story. You are still testing the waters in that area. Sometimes you listen to "No, let's not go upstairs," but most often you do it anyway. The funny thing is you are starting to say "no" to things yourself: "are you ready to get out of the bath?" "No." "Do you want another bite?" "No." It's pretty cute, especially the way you say it.
