For some reason in the past week or so, Evie has learned an amazing number of new things that we can use to entertain guests. Some of the things she will do fairly consistently (and I’ve talked about here before) and some are only 50/50.
Fairly Reliable
- How big is Evie? Soooo big! [arms raised]
- Can you clap your hands? [although she confuses this with “more” sometimes]
- Say bye bye [wave]
- No [violent head shaking]
- Can you give daddy five? [about 5 or 6 hand slaps]
- Can you give mommy a hug? [sometimes a nice hug, sometimes more of a head butt, but super adorable]
- Do you want more puffs? [sign language for “more”]
Somewhat Reliable
- Can you point to the light?
- Where is Nala?
- Where is da da?
- Where is ma ma?
She is much better at locating the light (the first one she learned) and Nala than mommy or daddy. Also she points with two fingers, like an outstretched peace sign, rather than with one. It’s just amazing that she’s essentially learned all of that in a week or two!
