Growing up

Meimei is walking. Over Thanksgiving weekend, she went from taking a few steps on her own to walking across the room and walking to most places (with the occasional plop! onto her butt because she lost her balance).

She's also in a growth spurt and some of her 18 month clothes no longer fit. Even the ones I just bought three weeks ago. We had to come up with something because she keeps getting her pants off, so we tend to dress her in coveralls or dresses with thick cotton tights.

And she's starting to talk to us and get some words. Here's what she's got:
  • Hi/Hello
  • Bye (or BYE!!!!)
  • Mommy and Daddy
  • Cheese
  • Num num
So we're getting all grown up here at el Casa del Pants.

Thanks for the reminder -- There's a poster I need to steal off a bulletin board on campus and send to you. It's about PANTS.

I remember those days! Many kids around that age discover they can undress themselves and are contantly stripping. At least you only have one going through it at this point! We had many coveralls and one piece jumpsuits at our house too!

It takes a while to teach them to leave their clothes alone. I have discovered that kids like to practice newly learned skill A LOT.

What AKJ said! Is she a cheese-fiend like Kitten or does this mean you've been taking lots of pictures?

Yea! Cheese! I hope it's a good sign that that is one of her first words.

It's the cheese, not the camera.

Good word choices! I can't believe she's so big already. Wow.

Now you just have to work on "chocolate." *grin*
