Eva Walking and Talking like a regular Rory Calhoun

This is a video of Eva walking (with the assistance of the stroller and me.)  She can stand and squat by herself and is beginning to pull herself along things. 

This is a video of Eva talking.  She has 6 words: Mama, Dada, hi, bye, no and (this one was added yesterday) pretty.  I was only able to get her to say Dada, bye-bye and pretty for the camera. And yes, we are normally that angelically white.  It comes from not seeing the sun for 9 months. And yes, we are that tilty in normal life.  I don't know what that comes from.

I bought some tulips and put them up on the book shelf yesterday (that's why she's looking up on the shelf when she says pretty).  I held her up to them and said, "Pretty."  She copied me and is now really interested in them.  She's so interested in them that she cries whenever I put her down after looking at the tulips.  I had no idea she would be so captivated with the "pretty" (new name for flowers).

Hey! I thought her third word was Leesa! It's ok, Mom wont be too offended if she says my name before grandma.

I loved the walker trip. I expect to be just like that one day!
The talking with the referent, the flowers is fascinating to watch. She keeps looking at the flowers and saying the word. Brain cells that fire together wire together.
Thanks for sharing,
Dad

Leesa, I forgot! Her third word was Leesa (or Jeeja). Also, she said banana today (or nana).
