A sage has remarked that it is incredible how
much a one year old has learned in only twelve months. If only we could
keep it up.
At somewhere around six months, Lindsay began daycare. So she has been
intermittently sick for much of the year. And very intent on her
learning. She grabs things and manipulates then in all ways. She stands
and bounces up and down. This is probably fun, but she is
strengthening those leg muscles for holding her up. And once standing
solo, crawling became a thing of the past. Being under a table was thus
a quandry; but she did eventually crawl out.
Speech has had to await prior perfection of locomotion. Her
grandfather Fred wonders if that resulted from too little tummy time at
an early age. Her being-read-to quota, however, has been well attended
to. Nowadays she picks up books and leafs through them on her own. If
she were talking she might be able to tell us what she is reading in
the books!
