Almost 2, and cute as a button!
Gemma loves reading and being read to. :) I frequently find her on the couch or in the big rocking chair in her room with an open book.
I wrote down a few new words which I'd forgotten to include last month! "Cukoo," "Back pack" (she leaves off the ending "ck"), "out," "da" ("down"), "me" and "my" (can also mean "mine"). Most of these words she was already saying last month, though, and she hasn't seemed to add any new ones recently. She has learned a lot more letters, though! She definitely now knows Y, T, A, S, P, V, and d, and I think there are a bunch more spinning around in her head which have yet to be solidified!
We continue to enjoy our outings to the library and store, and now she likes to bring her own shopping bag, just like Mommy. You may see it over her arm in the picture above!
And she still loves her Judy Rogers anytime. John often puts it on over the Apple TV in the mornings while she has her morning milk and o's. She's leaning back, watching the photo stream in this picture!
It's almost funny that she's wearing her jacket with no hood in this picture, because she now almost always insists on having it "on." :) Gemma loves helping, too . . . lately she likes to pull a chair up to the counter or sink where Mommy is cooking or doing dishes so she can stand on it and help. It does make things a bit more complicated, but I love spending the time with her, too! She's very good at picking up her toys (most of the time!) and even did it once recently without being asked! But she has seemed to have a methodical personality for a while. She likes to put things back in their places.
And now someone is awake . . . so off I go!
