Climbing Stairs
March 1st, 2010 Posted 6:13 pm
Remi will be 11 months old on March 6. She has been climbing stairs for a month but can now do both flights in roughly half a minute. As she nears the top of the stairs she grunts, “Meow!” which is, of course, Remi-speak for Cat. Remi’s rendition of the sound “meow” is truncated into a single syllable…so, “Mow”.
We are dog-sitting for a few days and that has been a blast for Remi. Initially the dog was classified as a “Meow” but in less than one day Anna had Remi calling him “Bow wow”. We notice mimicry popping up all over. When I change her diaper I rub an alcohol-based sanitizer into my hands. Remi copies the hand movements. If she gets a hold of a towel she will initiate a game of “Peek-a-boo” by covering her head and ever-so-slowly exposing her face -all while laughing hysterically. She is impossibly cute.
She loves art and especially text. She has 3 pieces of art hanging in her room which she must admire for several minutes before leaving. We have to move from picture-to-picture so Remi can point, touch and smile at each one. If I wear a t-shirt with printed text she will awkwardly trace the outlines of each letter. She traces a lot with her magic index finger. Following patterns in fabric or the corners of a room. She is a very aware little person.
These are some pics we took as she climbed the stairs today. She was ready for a nap so she got a little moody toward the end. The climb goes a long way toward helping her nap easily.
