Adriana can now say 16 words. Some of them sound quite similar because they start with the same sound, but she always uses them correctly. The words she can say are Mama, Daddy, ball, bye-bye, boom, chip, cheese, chair, Elmo, milk, more, Zeke, Poppy, puppy, poop, and no-no. She also recognizes the letter A, and recognizes the number 1 most of the time. She can tell you the sounds that m, p, and t make. She still loves babies and flowers. Right now, she is fascinated by faces. She is constantly pointing out eyes, noses, mouths, tongues, ears, cheeks, and hair. She thinks it's hilarious when people wear hats.
I found a developmental milestone chart on babycenter.com, and I can tell you that Adriana can do all of the following:
- Turns the pages of a book
- Has temper tantrums when frustrated (like her mommy)
- "Helps" around the house (cooking, laundry)
- Takes off one piece of clothing by herself (mostly, her coat)
- Likes riding toys
- Feeds a doll or animal
- Dances to music
- Brushes teeth with help
- Uses a spoon and fork
- Runs
- Points to a picture or object when you call it by name
- Throws away garbage
- Can walk up and down stairs
She's still as tiny as can be. She's growing taller, so she'll need to go up to 18 month clothes soon, but based on her weight, she could still stay in 12 months for quite awhile. She weighs about 21 pounds. According to the chart on babycenter, this means that she is in the 5th - 10th percentile. We love our tiny girl!
