What’s New:

Gestures with hands when talking (for emphasis I assume)
Takes hands off when standing on furniture for short periods–hasn’t yet made the connection that she can balance by herself
Tries to repeat words when you say them to her
Holds arms out for dada to hold her at times instead of just exclusively mama
Increased evasiveness when trying to pick her up when she doesn’t want to be–straightens arms above head and rolls body
Slams her arm up and down when angry

Eats 3 meals a day
Sleeps from approx. 8:30pm-9:00am, waking once within that timeframe to nurse
