We have been reading the book Moo Baa La La La since Lia was one month old, but this time Lia surprised us with something new!

Last time we showed how Lia can select the right animal from three choices, but some of you have been skeptical, thinking it was camera trick. Here’s a clip to end the speculation once and for all!

As you know, Lia was able to say Apple and Turtle, which were two syllables. I decided to stretch it a little to gauge Lia’s response…

Here’s our attempt to teach Lia to kiss… met with indifference.

Last time we discovered that Lia could sign milk. She does more than signing now!

Lia thought, “Here Daddy, have this toy!” Or so it seemed…

Lia has learned to say the word “ball”, but she apparently also learned to swear…

Lia has learned to play ball, and she even uses some advanced NBA passing technique!

Now Lia seems to understand what “up” means, but she also loves to just mumble random things, such as “mother”…

Earlier Lia had a funky crawl using a leg and a foot, but Carol expressed her concern that the posture and hip angle can lead to developmental problems. To alleviate this potential fiasco, we had been encouraging Lia to crawl with grace and symmetry. To our delight, Lia has adopted the superior methodology… well, almost.
