Foreigner

Audrey has begun to talk to me like a tourist. As in, she's a bad American tourist trying to communicate in a foreign land: she keeps repeating what she says louder and louder, while getting more fussy and whiny. "k'ka paiow buh."... "K'ka PAiow BUH.".... "KUH-KA PAAAAIIIIIOOOOOOWWWWW BUH!" And I have no idea what that means! We are learning each others language some more. She says "cup" very clearly (cup! cup! cup!) and has said keys (keeee) and apple (ap-pa). She's starting to shake her head no and (moving on to motor skills) is climbing everywhere! We have a cushion off the sofa now (cleaning up a dog accident) and she can hike herself on that and get up on the back cushions to look out the window. Very agile! So now she's trying to climb on everything, chairs, fireplaces, whatever. Definitely a time where hardwood floors are a detriment. Oh and she has finally take off walking. Still a bit wobbly, but getting faster every day. Check her out... (and at the end you'll see what I'm talking about with the tourist-speak)
