Today Hila and I went to the doctor for a 10-month old checkup. To sum up, the doctor says Hila is tall, weird, and delicious.
Tall and delicious are obvious observations.
About "weird", which may sound like an odd thing for a doctor to say about a 10-month old: I told him that when I say, "It's time to eat an eggy," Hila goes to her highchair. And when I say, "Go read a book," Hila goes and reads her books. He said to this, "That is weird. That is just a little too advanced." And then he seemed really skeptical about everything I had said when I told him that she says the words "up" and "book." But she does! I promise! (Good thing I didn't also tell him that she has said carrot, eggy, what's this, thank you, and bottle--am I delusional?)
But then he said "weird" again! Is it so weird that Hila likes to get her ears checked?
So as you can see, Hila is doing great, which means we're all doing great. She's a fantastic night sleeper and takes a 1.5-3 hour morning nap. An afternoon nap doesn't always happen.
This morning's nap, for example, was insane. Three hours passed and we didn't hear a peep from her room. Usually when she wakes up she plays some music and sings. This morning, nothing. We crept in there, expecting to find her still sleeping, but she was sitting up, reading a book, quiet as a silent mouse!
Hila's newest adorable act: Yelling at strangers out the window. Really loudly. And continuously.

Adorable :) All of it! Not weird at all.
Yeesh - I wish we had your doc instead of our Tipat Chalav. Abby was the same way at around 9-10 months - frequently said actual words, answered yes or no to things, and knew a few signs in sign language - and all they did was tell us that she wasn't speaking enough Hebrew (about 80/20 Eng/Heb). :(
I guess you just can't win, eh?
