Buba

Claire has a new word!

Go ahead, ask her if she wants to blow some bubbles. She might nod and say 'buba'. Dad has been working on getting her to say the word and she finally mastered it a couple days ago, right around the same time she actually was able to blow hard enough to make her own bubble.

She has been jabbering more the last several days and we're just waiting for words (or things that sound like words) start to form. Nana seems to be the fall back for everything (not just banana, but grandma Joanne & Jackie, and the cat). But she is obviously communicating with us the best she can.

Her latest feat is letting us know when she needs a diaper change because she has gone poop. She points her to diaper and starts poking herself. She did this to mom last week and also to the nanny.

She is also very interested in the toilet. She will come into the bathroom while mom is drying her hair or getting ready and tries to lift the toilet seat cover. She looks under and around trying to figure it all out. You can bet she will be receiving some new books associated with learning how to go potty for the holidays from mom & dad. The sooner the diaper thing is done, the better!
