Cortney's Crew

This is her new favorite toy! Thanks to one of my VT for giving it to me! She loves it so much! She has learned how to get off and on all by herself. I tried to get a video of that, but she wouldn't get off last night while I had the camera out. (Also on a side note about the video - she loves the girls Aquafresh toothpaste.

And she is learning to go down stairs - which is hilarious to watch. She lays down on the floor (a few steps away from the stairs) and then pushes herself backwards on the floor till she reaches the steps. Yay for arm muscles!!!

She says thank you (tank oo), bink (bee), up (a very breathy UUUHHHH), kitty (keykey), dancing (danin), ball and cookie (which both sound exactly like they should). No still mostly means yes, although Alexandra was being a little rough the other day and Scarlett gave her this mean look and said NO! So she's sort of starting to use it correctly.

Scarlett has also decided that she is too big for baby food. I knew she was starting to hate cereal, but this week I had several jars that she would take one bite and then tell me she was all done ("no" with big wavy hands). Really it's a good thing I understand her language! So now I...
