Walking: Niya is now walking!!! Around the house, completely on her own... when we are out and about she likes to walk holding at least one adult hand, she prefers two. The carpet gave her a bit of a holdup... it took her about two weeks to get the hang of how to walk on carpet (having no prior experience). But now she is up and (almost) running. She walks some of the time but will drop down and crawl if she wants to get somewhere quickly.
Teeth: Niya still only has two teeth... we are sort of starting to worry... but I am sure that the rest of them will come in soon!
Stats: Niya is about 29 or 30 inches tall (was 29 at her 9 month checkup) and about 20 lbs. She is wearing 18 to 24 month clothes because she has long arms and legs... but her pants fall down because she isn't wide enough!
Favorites Foods: She likes peas, "nanas", and blueberries above all other foods... Pepe's Pizza is taking a close fourth!! She is a fruit monster, but will eat just about anything... we joke that she is like "Mikey" because she really isn't picky! What she does eat is in huge quantity... to the point that we are afraid she might pop! :P
Communication: Mama and Dada are coming out loud and clear. she also says "That!, Go!, Meow, AaDone (with both arms straight up above her head and a big smile), she is waving for hi and bye-bye, she will hold out her arm and open and close one hand to when she wants you to come closer... her way of saying "come here", and is working on clapping... currently she does her own version of flailing her arms around to smack her hands together or brushing them together like she is brushing off dirt (is anyone surprised that she does her own version? We're not!)
New Skills: Currently she has peed in the potty 3 times! We aren't pushing potty training, but are just making a game of putting her on it some of the times we change her diaper, and she seems to be getting the idea! :)
She also gives loves (leans close for a snuggle) and hugs and kisses (spontaneously or most of the times she is asked). The cats get more love than we do whether they like it or not. :)
I will put up some specific pictures but like some of the other moms of kids this age have commented, all the pictures area starting to be blurry because the kid is moving too fast! :)
Is it just me, or is her hair turning more auburn?
