At 16 months Rebecca seems to be talking so much more than I remember Rachel talking at this age. She's actually understandable sometimes.
One of her newest words is "box." There's a diaper box that's been in the hallway outside her bedroom for a few days (I need to move it...but then I wouldn't have been able to teach her this word!) and she kept pointing to it, wanting to know what it was. I told her it was a box. So she practiced saying it, and now every time we go in or out of her room she points to it and says, "box!"
One of her other newer words is "bup" which means "cup," but also "button." She uses it when pointing to a button on my shirt, but also her belly button (which she loves to play with!).
She's started noticing when airplanes fly by, but when she hears them she says, "gock," which is her word for "truck." Anything that makes noise is either a bus or a truck, in her eyes.
She loves playing outside. Her favorite thing is to get in and out of her red cars (she has a cozy coupe and a push along buggy car) or getting on and off of her little bike (not a real bike, just one you push with your feet). She would really love to ride Rachel's bike and points to it all the time. I'm sure next spring she'll be riding the tricycle all over the place.
Inside her favorite thing to do (besides carrying around other people's shoes or trying to capture the remote) is to chew on pretend food. She empties the toy grocery cart daily of the plastic food and carries around various pieces, chewing on the ones that fit in her mouth.
She's a super friendly girl. When we go out she waves to everyone and tells them hi. People are always stopping to talk to her because she's told them hi.
Rebecca has always loved to eat, but her tastes are changing a little bit. She loves veggies, surprisingly, but doesn't like anything that is hard for her to pick up. If I feed it to her, then she'll eat it, but if it's hard to pick up (like rice or scrambled eggs), she doesn't want to eat it until I feed it to her on a spoon.
She loves being held, and gives hugs and kisses. She's such a sweet girl!
