13th-14th Month Update

Tori is growing quickly and so is her personality. She is so much fun to take places now. She smiles at everyone she sees and draws so much attention. People constantly tell me about how she has brightned their day. Some of her favorite new tricks this month are dancing, making herself dizzy by spinning around in circles, and running. I am loving how easy she is to make laugh and how cuddly she is lately (she gives hugs all day long and will crawl into your lap to cuddle...adorable). She also keeps amazing me with how much she understands and how well she can follow instructions (when she chooses to :). Tori says a lot of words, but is not using many phrases yet. Here are some of the words she says:

Most common:
ba (ball)
doooo (dog) or sometimes dooooogie
buuuu (book)
duuuck (duck)
da (dad) or sometimes dada or daddy *This is said in a very excited tone...so sweet :)
dun (done) or sometimes all done
again
yeah or uh huh *we are working on yes
dis (this) *she says constantlly as she points to different objects
dat (that)

Other words
mum (mom) or sometimes mama...only said when she needs something :)
baby (said clearly)
more milk
wawa (water)
here you go
thank you
up please
banana (said once perfectly and never repeated)
