Three words in one day!!!
That’s right. She said 3 brand new words today!!! Car, sit, and toes. G's receptive language is fantastic. She pretty much understands everything we say. Her speaking has been limited but coming along. Bobby and I were positive that once G started, her speaking would come flooding out. We were right. The last week or so, G's been saying a new word each day. It so much fun to hear her speak.

About Georgiana:
~She prefers to eat with a fork and doesn’t make much of a mess doing so.
~She loves music and will start dancing or bopping her head when she hears any.
~She likes to throw things in the trash can and then clap to congratulate herself
~She likes to say “hi” to everyone she walks past
~She can recognize images of dogs everywhere even if they’re cartoon drawings wearing clothes and hats or silhouettes.
~She loves when people clap, even on TV, and will always start clapping too.
~She loves to talk to Mommy and Daddy on the phone.
~Georgiana is very energetic but still feminine:
When she sits or lays down she almost always crosses her feet at the ankles in a very girly way
She loves to put things on her wrists like they are bracelets and then say “pretty”
She likes to sit up on my dressing area when I get ready in the morning and “brush” her hair, put little dabs of lotion on her skin or even a spritz of perfume!
~With her increased food intake, she’s down to about 1 full and 2 half bottles of formula per day. Otherwise, she’s drinking water.
~Her hair grows about 1” per month!

Ah yes, the infamous "Cat." Gavin loves the 'moe' in the tree at the end of the book. He also loves the book "Dog," though he insists that the chihuahua is a cat, even though I tell him otherwise!
