Michaela's understanding and recognition of words and objects continues to grow. She calls out for something resembling the word 'agua' for water and maybe even the word duck. Other words are open to interpretation - even dog and duck seem pretty close. We recently found out that we can leave her with someone else without her crying the entire time (yes!), so we actually saw some movies at an actual theater. We're looking for babysitting volunteers. She wants to go out to the backyard to her pool almost all the time. She loves to look at pictures of herself in photos or on the computer screen.

| My impression of a deer in the headlights. | I don't need any help getting into the pool, thank you. |

| The water seems a little cold. | This is the way we take a drink, take a drink... |
 |  |
| I can almost reach it. | Aunt Kathy, you can let me go now. |

| Wahhhhhhhhhhhhh... | I'm not sure what it is, but it's big. |
