She's brainy 'cause she's got the big Grover noggin, and she's brainy because she's still advanced when it comes to her vocabulary. The doctor asked if says at least 50 words. I think her vocabulary is at least 10 times that. He asked if she can run, walk backward, climb and descend stairs on her feet, jump, throw, kick, scribble, etc. Boy howdy, does she do all those things.
In fact, my dad was noticing that she can (sometimes) catch (big) balls, and hold onto a ball while she walks up and down the stairs. I think he's got his eye on her as a future volleyball player, but unless she hits a growth spurt, she may end up as setter or defensive specialist. (Not that there's anything wrong with either position. ;-))
Right now, Winnie loves drinking milk and asks for it 10 times a day. She's still infatuated with her bika (blankie) and baba (pacifier), although I try to limit how long she gets them during the day. She sings all of her ABCs as well as several other songs ("Old MacDonald" and "Wheels on the Bus," among others). She loves having books read to her, and insists on taking a book to bed with her whenever she goes down for a nap or for the night. She knows she can get almost anything she wants by following up a request with a high-pitched "Please?"
She has a great sense of humor--one day while Seth was changing her diaper, she announced, "Bubble tummy!" and stuck her belly out as far as she could. The next day when I was changing her, she repeated the trick, adding, "Pop!" and sucking her belly in as far as she could.
In short, she's just about the cutest, sweetest little thing there is.
