Moving and Talking

Kendall Avery

Kendall is making great progress with moving and talking. She goes up and down the stairs easily. And she is getting comfortable with getting on and off of her scooter and rocking horse. She used to be scared of them. And she's actually starting to move forwards and not just backwards on the scooter.

She's beginning to really understand lots of things, eventhough she might not say them. For example, if you are reading her a book and ask her to show you the "ball" or the "shoe" she can point to it. But she has really mastered these words: dada, mama, up and apple. If you ask her "Where is Sanford?" she will say "woof-woof".

One of the coolest things is when you ask her "Where is the baby?" She will practically beat her chest to show you that SHE is the baby. And she likes to point to this picture we have framed on the sofa table and beat her chest. She recognizes herself even at two weeks old!
