It will be shorter than my average post as I am typing with one hand with a sleeping girl on my chest/lap.
Yesterday we started to really hear her vocalize! We are pretty sure she knows mama and dada now. What happens is one of us will have her- like me, and she'll decide she wants Blake. So she starts going "dadadadadadadadada" and squirming till I hand her to him, then she is quiet. Seems pretty obvious she is saying it correctly to us. She does the same thing with mama in a long string... but less often. If we say something enough, she usually tries to say it too.
We have seen her crawl multiple times to get an object or person (well...Blake) she wants.
Today we have seen huge progress towards walking, where she independently took steps while holding on to furniture.
She laughed when the dogs licked her hands- first laugh we saw at home.
She stayed awake for a few hours after breakfast today- which is very different from falling asleep right after eating like yesterday.
We have a lot of theories why she has slept such a huge percentage of time we've had her, but that will be another post.
She had her first walk around the neighborhood yesterday (though she was sleeping through it in her stroller). This morning we gave her her first bath with us- not a fan.
Biggest thing we are working on is nutrition- she eats, just never much. She loves drinking though, so we are going to try to find some nutrient rich drinks for her till she eats more.
It's definitely not easy, but we love finally having her home!
