Chris was reading her a book for the first time today and there was a section that went something like "... clap your hands 5 times... 1-2-3-4-5". He put the book down to clap and she clapped along right away! She's clapped before, but this was just so cute that she was so quick to join in and seemed to understand what the book was asking of her. :)
We got it on video, so we'll post it at some point, but here's a pic to tide you over...
Other developments in Amelia-land....
- Still working hard to crawl.
- Eating various table foods. She'll eat pretty much anything I give her, though we're still steering very clear of potential allergy items and haven't introduced meat yet, either. She chowed down on tofu today!
- Looking around things to see something hidden behind it.
- She knows what "kitties" means! Gramma asked Amelia where the kitties were (thinking they weren't in the room) and Amelia turned and looked right at Bella (who was sitting off to the side).
- She recognizes her favorite book, even without seeing it. All I have to do is start reciting it and she gets a HUGE smile on her face.
- She recognizes the songs from her favorite DVD (Baby Signing Time, vol. 2)
- Today, she kept tapping her chest when we showed her a picture of herself. Then, she got SUPER excited to see a picture of herself with her mommy and daddy.
