it's official

Summer can identify all of her Palmer cousins in pictures and say passable versions of all of their names. For example, Stevie is "See-bee." She has a hard time with the R's in Brooke and Bryan, but she does okay on their names.

I just went through Mindy's page and randomly opened pictures of all the cousins, and Summer named them all. Brooke, Bryan, Stevie, Allie, and Joshy. She doesn't even attempt Rosemary - she just says Baby. She also doesn't say Summer - she says "Ah-zuh." We don't know where she came up with that , but that's what she calls herself when you ask "Who's this" and point at her (if you say "What's your name," she doesn't get it), or when you show her pictures of herself.

Rosemary is starting to play with her toys a lot more - if I put her on the play mat or in the bouncer, she bats at the hanging toys and it keeps her occupied for a good while. She's also starting to interact with Adam and me more - she holds eye contact well and smiles a lot more, and is starting to coo at people. It's very cute. She's still hungry all the time.

Joshua could do that months ago...wait...you're talking about saying cousins' names. I thought you were talking about rolling over.

Anyway, can Summer name all her Caudle cousins?

Actually, no, she can't. We don't have tons of pictures of them (or really ANY pictures) like we do of her Palmer cousins. They're also not babies - Summer and Rosemary are the youngest Caudle cousins - and Summer likes pictures of babies the best.
