tools

Today she sat on the back patio & played with the open tool box. She took out wrenches and bolts and looked at them. Her hands were greasy with tool gunk. This activity entertained her for about 10-15 minutes. Then Baba came & sat down from cutting the tree and she walked to him; she cut her toe/dropped the wrench and started bleeding and crying. That ended that activity. I put medicine and a band aid on her toe and put a sock on her foot. She doesn't care much for socks (or clothes for that matter) but she kept the sock on for a while and now she's napping with it on.

cup

On August 13 she held her little shot glass cup and drank water from it without spilling it. She did it again the next day and can hold small amounts of liquid (either water or soy milk). She doesn't like sippie cups too too much but will drink water from them and nothing else. I've been giving her soy milk in a little shot glass type of cup (cups we got in Jordan for coffee/tea) and since we were in Jordan without a sippie cup she drank lots of water in a regular cup with lots of spilling. Lately she'd been drinking from cups better without spilling (while I held it) but now she wants to hold it on her own. So when I let her hold it, she drank from it successfully without a drop spilled! I'm so proud. She's babbling so well, saying biddy, buck buck and of course mama dada baba meme nanana (she says that when she's bothered & upset)
