Avery now will spin in circles on her own, giggling and having a grand old time. She also is making the first attempts to jump on her own. It's pretty cute to see her put her all into it and barely bouncing. Half the time she then topples down onto her bum.
We continue to work on ASL. She'll tell you "more" when she's ready to eat and correct it to "eat/food" when you ask her if she wants to eat. If you ask if she wants a "drink" or "water" she is trying to make one of those signs, it kind of comes out a bit muddled. She also will babble while holding up her thumb and pointer finger (pinky isn't out yet) to respond when you say "I love you".
Word wise puppy is starting to sound more like what she's saying at times, but Saffy still gets a "Gigi" She'll also stand there babbling while looking at a book. I'm sure she is trying to tell me something, but it isn't coming across just yet.
We're still fighting on many foods, but we did have some success with pieces of spaghetti and meatballs last night. She also seems to enjoy gnawing on a pretzel stick on her own. The pieces of fruit continue to go in, get chomped on a little and get spit out. I tried to get her to take bites off of a banana this weekend but they too kept coming back out, until I started putting a hunk of banana on a spoon w/ a bit of pb.
