Sixty-five weeks now!

I forgot to mention that Baby also says 'uh-oh.' :) We can now add 'orange,' 'bear,' 'bye bye,' and some Korean phrases (grandma, grandpa, 'ah so pretty').

I'll be done with work in a few weeks, then it's off to the pool with Baby!

We have completed sixty-three weeks, and we are about a week and a half from being fifteen months. Another doctor's appointment is in order.

Baby's vocabulary has expanded. She can now say 'oval,' 'yellow,' 'purple,' and 'piggy.' Grandma says she can also say 'apple,' but I haven't heard it yet.

We bought some pretty pink shoes for Baby, and she loves wearing them. When it's time to go out, we just show her the shoes and she comes waddling over. She still stumbles occasionally, but she has gotten very good at walking. Sometimes she forgets her own abilities and tries to run. Now I need to be even more vigilant when we're out because she has a tendency to walk away. On a related note, baby shoes are expensive. Fifty dollars?! I don't even pay that much for shoes.

Yesterday we bought some potties so begin training. Ideally, I'd like her to be out of diapers by the time she's two so we don't have to deal with diapers forever. And, I'd also like to have another baby soon, and I don't know if I like the idea of two babies in diapers. I'd be able to handle one in diapers and one in potty training. For now, Baby seems to think the potty is a chair for TV watching, and at other times a place to put her toys.

Baby is over whatever sickness was ailing her. Even though her doctor said it was pink eye, I don't really think it was. I think she had a head cold, and the congestion was making her eyes water. We've been fortunate that she has only been sick twice. Everyone is miserable when she is sick.
