Additional comprehension.
Elsy's ability to comprehend and reply to our inquires has been growing pretty quickly of late. She is still responding with single word replies but she is starting to have a better sense of saying what she means rather than saying "yes" to everything.
She has not been growing all that much in the past few months either. After the explosive growth in the first six months and the big gains in the second half of her first year, she has been growing slowly ever since. I think part of the reason is because of the multiple sicknesses that she (and the rest of us) have had this year that may have stunted her growth. After visiting other families with kids who are of similar/younger age, we realized how much smaller she was to the other children. I am not too worried myself, as long as she ends up being smart in the end.
She is transitioning from the infant room to the toddler room and should be complete by this week. I think she'll have more fun with the toys and activities in the other room, now that she can walk and interact better with her hands and feet.
I really would like to chronicle more of Elsy's growth, but time limitations leave me with little leeway to write long articles. Alas.
