Nora started crawling during our visit to California this summer -- in July. Recently, she has started signing back to us a few words: milk, more, all done, book. It is very adorable to see her communicate with us even before her speech is developed. All she can say is "mama" and "p". She says the "p" sound a few times to refer to Alan. She can identify some body parts. Favorites include belly button, toes, teeth, nose. She knows Gertrude's name (and that she is a dog). Every day I can see that she understands more and more by the way she interacts with the world. Lately she has taken to assisted walking. She likes to walk holding onto our fingers. I've taken her a few times to play on the grass on campus -- she absolutely loves it. Today she found some little flowers while she was "walking" around and just needed to stop and investigate.
