The A Report

• 21 pounds, and 2 feet + 11 inches tall (the weight fluctuates a little - I swear she feels heavier)
• loves tomato sauce and recently guzzled chocolate milk at a "kids' club" dinner on base
• getting into Thomas the Train, Winnie the Pooh, and the Wiggles
• words (or parts of them): Ralph, car, go, "no mine", "no Ma", more (a variation of it), whee, yeah, D (for Dora).  Can do sign language for milk, more, and diaper change.
• enjoys watching Dora so much, she exclaims "D!" when I turn it on
• dances to the ABC song in the kitchen (a magnet toy plays it)
• has new backyard toys we found discarded on the curb (trucks and picnic table)
• avoiding mosquitoes with Avon Skin so Soft
• getting her cuspid teeth - not as painful as previous teeth, but require lots of sleeping!
• has a new Japanese "mama-san" bike that we bought from our neighbor.  Took our first ride today with Ariel asleep in the front baby seat.
• meeting new playmates and their families through our babysitting exchange
• could really use some new coloring books, as the base does not have any.  Sesame Street, Thomas, Pooh, Dora are all good.  We have some Japanese coloring books (Anpanman & Doraemon), but they're a little different.
• could also use a good healthy cookbook for toddlers
