Since we haven’t updated our blog since last November, perhaps a little catching up is in order.
Yes, Allegra can stand. The above picture was taken on Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006. She crawls around like a champ, and often pulls herself up to a standing position. Once in a while, she’ll let go of whatever is steadying her and stand on her own (this usually doesn’t last very long).
She has an extensive vocabulary. She says “hi” and “bye.” They sound exactly the same, but they usually come with a complimentary wave of the hand. She can also say “dada” (her first word ahem), “mama,” “kitty,” “dog.” She can also say “ittle ittle ittle,” which we believe is her way of saying “kitty kitty kitty” when trying to call the cat.
She eats baby food and some solid food once in a while. Last time she let me look, she had seven teeth, although there may be more now (she’s very shy and won’t let me look in her mouth.
