Vaccination follow up #2

Lizzie had a great check up today. She's very helathy and strong, with nice, powerful lungs. She seemed to suffer more from the oral vaccination than the shots, but that's probably because the former took (a lot) longer to administer. Much howling. Once the shots were done, she settled quickly and has had a great afternoon. She's on her 3rd short nap, and spends the balance of her time chewing on favorite rattles, rolling over, and drooling. Good times in baby land.

Not that looks are everything, but I can't resist one more photo this week:

Words update (2 years): It's official -- no more updates necessary. Lizzie uses full sentences, some articles, possessives and plurals, some tenses (usually past tense). She has an enormous vocabulary and labels everything (for instance, in Go Dog Go, she points out "rollerskates, jackhammer, shovel, pick axe, baseball, cannon, trampoline, etc.) -- if we name something more than once or twice, she remembers the word. (So yeah, we need to watch what we say!) Lizzie also understands spelling in a fwe cases. c-double-o-k-i-e is no longer safe to spell! (nor is p-a-r-k).

Signing update (2years): Lizzie now knows all of the signs in Volumes 1-12 of Baby signing time. M guess is that she has about 200 signs. She still signs quite often, but since we're the only ones who sign with her, I'm guessing it'll taper off in time with school, friends, etc. We still find signing very useful for non-verbal communication.
