Indie is at such a fun age! She sleeps all night and wakes up with babbling, clapping, and beaming smiles.
She babbles all the time! She talks when she is trying not to fall asleep and has been known to talk loudly in public. Her signs and words seem to be very intermittent. She was just accepted into the Munroe Meyer Speech Study, which I have heard amazing things about. I am hoping that the weekly signing practice will help our signs stick better!
Indie still takes 1-2 bottles a day, but mostly eats table foods with us. She is interested in running the utensil with me and sometimes even makes it into her mouth.
Her bottom teeth are finally growing in. I have been waiting for those guys for months, but was surprised to feel that both her top molars are also growing in.
Indie learned how to 4 point crawl on December 9! She surprised me at therapy then continued crawling 3-4 scoots at home. She was happy to perform all day long, which is why I have been surprised that she hasn't crawled the same way again. She has developed a 3 point crawl that she consistently uses to get where she wants to go so looks like she is sticking with that for a while.
Indie's 12 month blood work revealed a low white blood cell count, which had me more than a little convinced that she had Leukemia. Lower numbers on the subsequent blood draw didn't help either. Meanwhile, she developed a stomach flu, which explained the wonky blood results. It took her forever to kick that bug and I was so glad to have our healthy little girl back along with normal test results!
We have seen Indie pull up to standing a couple of random times, but she just started doing it consistently this week. It still takes her a couple of tries, but once she has her mind set, she keeps trying until she can get it. She can also stand assisted for quite a while and has even started taking a couple of teeny tiny cruising steps.
Indie loves rocking on the horse, dancing, clapping when people say hi, licking the sliding glass door, banging the computer cabinet, bath time, and having us all wrapped around her little finger.
