Our Baby Is Paper Trained

Molly has been learning new words every day - just yesterday she started saying "bagel" and "turkey". She LOVES eating bagels and now she can say the word! Although she pronounces it "buggle". And when we saw some wild turkeys, she said "tuh-key"! Today she learned to say "monkey" after looking at her Curious George book. It's pretty amazing to watch her progress - it can be very slow for months, then she'll have a burst all at once and pick up a bunch of new tricks. For instance, we've been listening to her CD of songs from our "Music Together" class for months now, but just in the last week she's started to sing along to them.

Yesterday we had a very funny experience. We got her all undressed in preparation for putting her in the bath. We were running the water for the bath, so we weren't ready to put her in yet. She was running happily along from room to room, all naked and adorable. When we were ready to put her in, I went to her room to get her. I found that she had peed on the floor - not that common, but when she has done it before it has been right at the side of the bathtub waiting to get in. This time it was on her floor in her room, on her rug. But.... luckily for all of us she peed right on a magazine that was on the rug. She didn't get any mess on the rug itself. Our daughter is so brilliant - she's paper trained!
