Clicky McGee

Huge breakthrough last night: Roxi has started to mimic sounds. OK, she's not reciting the Gettysburg Address or anything, but she is clicking her tongue. We think it's pretty exciting. She's been copying facial expressions for a while now, but the noises are new. In fact, Roxi is getting more and more vocal in general. She "talks" to her toys and us regularly. We pretend like we know what the heck she's saying.

Other lovely developments: big smiles, little herky jerky laughs (particularly in her sleep, which is hysterical), reaching for her favorite monkey toy, staring at her hands, birth hair being replaced by a thick peach fuzz (looks blond-ish, but it's hard to tell), eyes still blue, graduating to the next size up in diaper wraps (the cloth diaper thing is going great, FYI) and getting more and more squirmy.
