Ava is a little bookworm. Whenever we let her wander for a minute, we always find her in the same spot... sitting next to our stairs / bookshelf, with a book in hand.
A few days ago, I saw that she had reached for a book. I sat a bit away from her, and asked her if she would "bring me the book" so I could read it to her. She looked at me with this confused look, at first. When I asked her again to bring the book to me, she did. I put her in my lap and read the book to her. She then wanted me to read other books to her. I'm glad she understands this now. Previously, piles of books mounted, as she frequently pulls them down from their places.
It is amazing what Ava understands. I'm trying to make more "requests" of her, to see if she can demonstrate an action after hearing something we've said to her. Just yesterday I asked her to shut the door to a cabinet. She wasn't convinced she should, but she closed the door.
She picked up something the other day that I didn't want her to eat, and I said "yuck, yuck, yuck". She tried to mimic what I was saying, which was pretty cute.
Ava loves remote controls and anything electronic. She brought a remote into our kitchen while I was getting dinner ready yesterday. When I asked if she was pushing the "button", she tried to say "button", but ended-up saying something like "ah-bum".
Lately, if we strip her down to her diaper before bed, she runs around like a wild woman. She gets her "second wind" and her little legs don't stop!
