Week Thirty Seven

This week Remi had his first big hip surgery.  We had a mini veterinary hospital set up in the bedroom.  The noise and the fluid pump did not keep you up and you were a good sleeper despite all the chaos.  Poor Remi has to be kept on cage confinement for 2 weeks and it is hard to keep him quiet during your naps.  If you tell him "the baby is sleeping." He actually settles!

You are more and more verbal.  Babbling away in your baby language that no one understands and likely has no meaning.  Every once in a while you end up saying a real word, which is very exciting for us, even if it does not count as your first word.  We have decided that your first word has to be something that you say and know what it means.  You have said "okay" "haiku" and "I love you."

Your physicality is also improving by leaps and bounds.  You are pulling up to squatting and even standing all the time.  I am afraid that you will be walking soon and you will be such a big girl and my little baby will be gone.
