These days, Thor the cat runs a close second to Kai as Melina’s favorite living creature – outside MamaDada of course! She recognizes Cat by name and often says “k” when she sees him. Thor is also a great inspiration for her nascent crawling abilities, as she really really wants to grab his tail and he’s often just out of reach. Usually, she ends up scooting backwards and complaining loudly as Thor gets further and further away.

As for interacting with humans, Meli now has her own version of “bye bye,” complete with a royal wave. She says “baba bababa” while holding her arm out and moving her hand slowly from left to right and back again. She did this unprompted as we left a play group on Monday, then again as we left her daycare the next evening.

Melina and her little friends in my moms groups are also starting to interact more and more. At Monday’s play group she had an all-out tug-of-war over a big wooden toy. My little girl didn’t say a word but refused to back down. Mama was proud though we need to start working on sharing.
