Birds

Nine-month-old Gwen is growing up too fast now for me to keep up with the blog postings. Her cognitive development and comprehension of language are very impressive. At least to her mom and dad. We're regularly blown away. She understands so many words now. Here are just a few of the things to which she responds successfully:
Can you clap?
Can you give mom/dad a hug? (we love this one!)
Can you kiss the _____? (she'll kiss just about any character in a book or stuffed animal, etc.)
Where is the sky? (she points)
Do you want to dance? (she bounces and cackles with excitement)
Do you want water/milk/broccoli/yogurt...? (she knows the names of the foods she eats)
and her latest favorite...
Do you see any birds?

Gwen seems to be taking after Pops with her fascination with birds. She loves to find birds in the sky and point at them. These are some pictures from Wednesday evening.
