Word Power

Alison's spoken words are still quite limited to her "uh-oh" and "daw" and "daddy," but she understands a LOT more than she can say. If you ask her at snacktime when she's in her playroom if she wants to go get a snack, she runs to the safetygate and begins to try to unlatch it.

Yesterday, I got her up from her nap and noticed that she was only wearing one of the two socks I had put her to bed in. I asked her, "Where's your sock?" Without missing a beat, she pointed to the crack between her crib and the wall-- in fact, to a specific corner of that crack. I bent down and sure enough, there was the missing sock.

She may not be saying much, but she's listening...and taking notes!
