Ali is a full blown toddler these days. She walks and definitely likes to exert her own will. She talks and signs what she can't say (or I don't understand). She still loves mealtime and she loves books too. She will sit down on her own with a book and turn the pages and sign for the pictures - so cute! I signed her up for the summer reading program in the library to at the end of the summer she will get a free book!
Ali also loves babies and baby dolls! She very excitedly says ("dede" for baby) and signs baby every time she sees a baby anywhere - in a book, on a container, a baby doll, or a real baby. I got her a little baby doll for her birthday which she loves but she recently discovered 2 of my old dolls that we keep in her room and she is obsessed with them! This is especially funny since they are both life size dolls - one is newborn sized and the other is 6 month old sized! To see Ali dragging Sally, the 6 month old size doll, around the house is hilarious!
Ali just started walking full time in the past week. Typical for her she was a very late walker but went from taking 5 - 10 steps about once an hour tops to walking more than crawling to walking almost full time in a week! She is very proud of her new skill and walks all over the house usually carrying something :)
Ali is also a very slow teether but she is now up to 6 - she has 4 top teeth and 2 bottom. Just like the other 4 she cut these 2 without a peep of protest (which I am very thankful for).
Ali is enjoying spending time with her nana this summer and we are looking forward to meeting cousin Gavin soon!
Sorry I am lazy so not adding any pics to this post but I am currently uploading new pictures to the shutterfly site so check them out there :)
