Kay is beginning to experiment with the word "no" now. I don't think she fully understands what it is, but is sure trying it out. The other day she said "no" when I handed her milk to her. Then, two seconds later did the sign for "more". She is also testing the waters with protesting things she does not want to do. For the first time she arched her back while putting her in the car seat making it into a wrestling match (while saying "no" over and over again). Thankfully, I am bigger than her and won the challenge. She is like a sponge and learning everything. She remembers where everything goes (wants to help hang up hangers, put away her jacket, put the broom away, get a washcloth for bath out of the drawer). If we leave the remote within reach she will pick it up, carry it to us, and start saying "thank you" because she knows we thank her every time she hands it to us to put away. "Cheese" is now a new favorite word and food. I used to not be able to get her to eat it and now she loves it. Everything is a "baby" now. Plants, chairs, people...everything is called "baby". She says her own name now. It is the most adorable drawn out "Kaayy".
I flipped through my baby calendar the other day. Here are two pictures of me at the same age as Kay. I can see some of me in Kay. At the same age one week I used the potty for the first time, the next week I refused to wear a diaper, and the next week I was waking my mom up at night to take me to the bathroom at night. If only Kay would be that easy! It is funny to read the differences. One of my first words was "mine" (I am sure because I have an older brother) and Kay hasn't said that word yet. Around Kay's age my doctor was thrilled when I reached the 0% mark in weight because I had been off the chart I was so thin. I guess we should be excited Kay has stayed on the chart (although very low).
