Jorie talks some more
Nov. 7th, 2007 09:31 amJorie uses a lot of two-word phrases these days--not just canned ones she repeated from us, but seemingly newly invented ones of the form "verb noun" and "modifier noun". "Hug [object]" gets used a lot, accompanied by the act.
They Might Be Giants' weird kids' song "Violin" (which I sing to her a lot, and can sort of play on the piano) is "hippo song" (there's a bit that is just "hippo, hippo, hippo" repeated several times).
She's starting on song lyrics, sometimes with surprising elaboration; the general pattern is two or three syllables from the beginning of a line, then a pause, then a very emphatic pronouncement of the last word. "Row row... boat". "Up a buh... high. Like a like a... sky."
She often counts to ten in idle moments, though she's decided that 7 and 8 can be safely omitted.
She's also gotten better at standing unsupported, and though she doesn't yet have the nerve to walk without holding onto something, she can manage with one hand.
Right now, she's at her very first swimming class with Sam! We'll see how it goes.
