Happy Birthday Sylvie! You are 1 year old today, but will always be our baby girl, Littlest Luhring. You continue to be this wonderful light in our family. Like I sing to you every night, You Are Our Sunshine!Walking is old news for the little miss by now. :) She's steady and actually pretty fast. One of my favorite things about Sylvie is that she comes when she's called. It's awesome. Whenever we call her, she emerges from wherever she is with a smile and walks right towards us.
Speaking of responding, Sylvie has excellent receptive language and listens very well...I hope that continues! :) Her expressive language still consists of CVCV (consonant vowel) sounds like mama, baba, dada, duhduh. She babbles often. She's starting to repeat us a little bit, but really it's just whatever sound she feels like saying at that time. For example, often times everything is mamamama and I will point to myself and say, "Right! Mama! Say Mama!" and she does. But if she's in a dadadada or a babababa moment, and I point to myself and say, "Say Mama!" She replies, "dada" or "buhbuh." She does get the correct number of syllables :) and even when the sound is not correct, it's still very cute to hear her sweet voice chatting away. Sylvie's very good at pointing at what she wants and vocalizing a CVCV sound. She gives us feedback and either shakes her head "no" if it's we don't get it right or gives a big smile and reaches for the object if we have gotten it right. However, this strategy only works when the thing she wants is in view. Tears of frustration happen sometimes too. :( In addition to the babbling and crying, mini giggles, laughs, and "baby singing" are her other vocalizations. She has a good time with her little life. It's adorable!
There is one more upper dental friend pushing through, making that 4 teeth by her first birthday. She's now drinking whole milk to help strengthen those teeth and bones. She doesn't drink much from a sippy cup. She uses one and will sip from it (in fact, she thinks it's hilarious to drink from Brady's). But when I really want her to drink her milk, I put it in a bottle...or just leave one of Brady's sippy cups with her milk in it in view- ha!
Happy Birthday sweet bunny! We love you so much!
