Zofia has 6 teeth and is working on her 7th. We can always tell when she's getting ready to get a tooth because she gets the most hideous diaper rash you can imagine - pauvre bebe. But those teeth! She bites those Cheerios in half using those pretty pearly whites.
She's more independent in her playing, which is pretty awesome for me because it affords me the opportunity to actually cook, eat, and get something done! Currently her 2 favorite toys are a duck and her "bear pants" I bought at BabyGap.
She is also following instructions now which is cool, as she is associating words with objects. Her vocabulary comprehension is expanding! Words she understands include:
cat, dog, monkey, duck, book, kiss (and boy are they messy!), and ball. She understands to bring something to us. Today she was quite proud of herself as she put a ball in her cup and balanced it as she tipped the cup.
She is hilarious because in the last week she started doing SOOO BIG! Grandpop had been teaching her this and now she does this on cue. She even does this when I am talking to someone else and use the words "so big" (arms in the air!) Today she started clapping and that was pretty big news!
Zofia is also standing without support now. Usually it catches her by surprise and when she realizes that she's not holding onto anything she either grabs something or sits right down.
We play chase around the kitchen - Zofia will crawl and look over her shoulder so I'll crawl behind her and chase her. As soon as she turns a corner I go the other way to surprise her
and she always is!
