Likes:

• Crawling!  Yay - she figured it out just hours after we left Oregon for Nepal, during our layover in Houston.  She still appears to favor standing and trying to walk over crawling.
• Taking a few falling steps towards dad or mom.  Not really walking, but so darn close
• Showing off her teeth with big smiles - two bottom teeth and a top one poked through our on the 1st.
• Playing phone by holding her toy phone, our iphones, or even a toy monkey up to her ear
• Screeching when happy and sad - yeah, fun on those 35 hours of travel from Oregon to Nepal!
• Clapping
• Eating, still loves fruit and needs to be convinced to actually eat those veggies and not just play with them.  Cheerios are also a favorite.
• Drinking from a straw
• People - she smiles at everyone and anyone all the time
• Visiting mom and dad at work at lunch time

Dislikes:

• Being too far from mom or dad when we're getting ready in the morning
• Really has started putting up a fight at nap and bed time - pushing away with arms and legs - until she gives up and collapses
