Painting and goats

Happy Saturday.

I worked on some masterpieces.

Then I visited the flamingos at the zoo.

I even fed the goats. I was a little afraid at first...

...But I got brave.

Then I came home and painted again. This time, I painted my tummy.

One landed right on me.

And I got to dig for dinosaur bones.

Messy

Mom and Dad thought putting my paint in an ice cube tray would be less messy...

Sea Center

Sharks!

I touched a sea cucumber and sea star.

Vivi's hat

Look what I found in the cupboard - a hat!

Gak!

We played with gak at school!

The Carousel

We have an old carousel in town

Vivi loved watching the horses go around.

She was less sure of riding it - and wouldn't have anything to do with actually getting on a horse.

Random pics and new words

Fish fish fish! So excited about all the fish in the pet store. Running from tank to tank with arms flying. 

No crib can contain me.

Language development

For quite a while now Vivi has said duck, dog, dada, mama, and all done. Just in the last few days she has quite a few new words: outside (oow-si),  shoe (sh), sock (aah), fish (ish), monkey (ookey), draw (I-dra), bubbles, water and Elmo (mo). She also knows animal sounds for a monkey, lion, and dog. She also says a lot of other things - but we don't understand what she's saying. 

She signs/gestures "more" "milk" "so big" "yes" "no" and points to her head/belly/legs/feet/ears/eyes/nose/fingers/arms/hands/teeth, when asked, follows simple directions and knows the names of all of her toys and all of her friends. She understand EVERYTHING we say.
