Rachel now likes to drink her last bottle of the night while one of us is reading her a book. She is no doubt preparing for the day when we all sit around the breakfast table on Sunday, reading newspapers and commenting. Assuming there are any newspapers to ready by then...
Her new game is grabbing mommy's nose. Then I grab her nose. Then she giggles. Then she points at my left ear and I point at HER left ear and say, "that's RACHEL'S left ear!" Then she points at my right ear and I point at HER right ear and say, "that's RACHEL'S right ear!" This continues with my chin, nose, neck, throat and chest. It happens several times a day.
She is "talking" constantly these days, pretty much from the moment she gets up. Shannon, one of the daycare ladies, told Drew on Thursday that Rachel had been talking to herself when she suddenly started laughing. It was as if she was telling herself a little baby joke! She cracks herself up!
And last night when I came home from work she was on the kitchen floor while Drew was making dinner. I gave her the car keys to play with, which she did for a minute and then handed them back to me and said a garbled (but still understandable): "want your keys?" I was so startled that I said, "um, sure, honey! Thanks!" and stared at her in astonishment. Apparently she is skipping individual words and going straight to sentences and paragraphs.
