March has zoomed by! Gloria *can* walk, but she chooses not to. She prefers to walk around and around the house holding my finger, chasing her sister. She will growl when you ask her what a tiger (or bear) says. After a couple nights when she had trouble falling asleep, we introduced 3 stuffies in her crib with great success, which Charlotte has named as follows: Heartly the monkey, Spots the giraffe, and Dewey the dog (Dewey's name came from Gloria's most frequently babbled syllables). Plus of course Po the lovey panda. When you ask her to say Dada, she clicks her tongue and won't say the word- a mystery! We also moved her out of her high chair with tray into a kid chair with straps that pulls up to the table. It is mostly working, however she often insists on eating with one foot up on the table. Very laid back. She has also taken to Cs old baby doll Stella, whose hair she likes to brush.
Charlotte has been really into a women in science book she got as a gift- mama loves it, too. And speaking of mama, I had my first night away from G since she was born, a weekend in Palm Springs with my college friends.
Matt has been hard at work building us a mud room so we have somewhere to put all our coats and boots and hats- a must in Seattle! Our first project in our new house.
