Natasha is beginning to combine 2-3 words together... it's actually quite hilarious to watch her do it. For example, Matthew taught her that bath-time or any type of water is called "ploosk" (I think it's in Polish? I am not sure). Anyway, taking a bath is one of Natasha's all-time favourite evening activities. Well, sometimes during the day she used to walk over to the bathroom door, look at me, and go: "ploosk?" I assumed she wanted a bath, so I told her, "when papa comes home in the evening, you can have ploosk, okay?". This answer usually satisfied her and she would walk away from the bathroom door.

Well, now, whenever she realizes she wants a bath during the day, she goes: "ploosk?", and then she'd tell herself, "hksahjkkwjke ... papa .... kljewlwje ... plooosk ... jlekwjljkewje .... okay?" She's pretty much answering her own questions! It's too funny. And this is just one example of many many words she's beginning to combine!

I've been putting really colourful socks on Veronika and I think that encouraged her to grab her feet this early on. She now grabs them and holds on really tight, but not for very long. It's too cute. I showed these pictures to Matthew last night and he said I staged it (i.e. made her hold her feet, and took a photo), but it's definitely not true. She did it all on her own! Today I went to the kitchen to make her a bottle and when I returned, she was holding them again! Our precious baby is growing up...
