Sylvia is 14 months old!


Sylvia is another month older! We can't believe how much she is growing up and changing. It's hard to believe that she was barely taking steps a few months ago! She just zooms around now like it was nothing!! And she understands so much. In response to questions, she points at things and says things that sounds eeriely like "dis" and "dat". She knows some of her toys by name and kinda tries to say the names herself.

She now has 7 teeth -- and an 8th looks like it is coming soon! She uses them to eat all sorts of things, and she's getting A LITTLE better about discriminating the difference between things that are okay to put in her mouth and things that are not (but just a little). She's often really good when we ask her to do things like "Come to Mommy" or "Give that to Mommy". She's not so good with "Don't do that" or "Stop" or "That's gross / not food."

AAAANNNND, she is now going down to sleep by herself and sleeping for full naps and sleeping through the night. It's early days yet, so we could still totally mess it up, but it's going really well so far.

We're just having a ball with her!

Sylvia is also now the child of 2 PhDs. We were shocked to discover that our requests are taken no more similarly when we explain our professional qualifications.

Here are some recent pictures:

That last one's my favorite in a big way!

You know, she will just keep getting older and then you will forget that there was a pre-Sylvia period. I cannot remember what we did before the girls came, and the older I get the more I forget.

Peace and Love
