Victoria's Latest News




























Victoria can do so many things now! She is learning to put things in and out of containers. She is also working on putting her rings on the pole they go on. I have been listing all the things she can do for her therapists and thought I would share that list here:





She gives kisses when she is asked and gives them to the item or person pointed at. She also gives kisses to things without prompting.





She lifts her arms when she wants you to pick her up.





She loves to scoot down the stairs as long as someone has a hand either behind her or in front of her for support.





Victoria loves to turn the pages of her board books.





She is learning to wave bye-bye when she is prompted. She does it about 50% of the time.





She will pick up her binky and move it to a spot where she can lean over and pick it up with her mouth. She will also pick up her binky and hand it to you so that you can hold it for her to place in her mouth.





Victoria loves to hand others her toys. She will stop handing them to you if you tell her "all done".





She loves to open and close Josh's cell phone.





She will point to items that she wants to play with.





She loves to slide down the slide and if you put her at the top of the slide, she will scoot to slide down all by herself.





She will give you five when asked.





Victoria also knows and says 17 words and knows what they mean. Some other words she is learning to say, but she hasn't got down what they mean yet. Here are her words:





All Done, Done, Daddy, Mommy, Dada, Mama, Uh-oh, Uh-hu, Nuh-uh, Kitty (diddy), Get it, No, Down, Yeah, Don't Know (don oh), Baby (bebe), Wa-hoo.





At her last check up a few weeks ago, Victoria weighed 18 and 1/2 pounds and was 30 and 1/2 inches long.





Victoria is in love with Mickey Mouse and his show on playhouse Disney, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She talks along with the show and does a dance along with Mickey and friends at the end of the show. It is so cute.





I cut her bangs a few days ago. Her hair kept falling in her face and driving her crazy. Now she can see and she doesn't rub her eyes so much. And she looks really cute with her little bangs. Cute, but somehow so much bigger! :) What happened to my little baby? She's growing up! Everyone told me that she would grow fast and now I have to say that they were right. It seems like just yesterday we were working to get her to 5 pounds. I blinked and now she is talking and trying to walk.....*sigh*....becoming her own little person.
