I realised I haven't been around much or updated this in a while.
Not sure what the interest level is, but I'm proud of my girl.
River is SO close to talking "properly" now.
She mimics almost everything.
She recognises numbers and letters.
She can retrieve items when asked for them by their name.
She can take her shoes off, and put them on...fairly well...
Has favourite TV shows.
Dances by both following shows etc, and on her own.
Has started singing in the car to the songs she knows.
Knows how to respond to questions, give greetings and farewells.
Uses a fork and spoon pretty well now, and actually prefers to feed herself.
She's just gone from "Hi" to "Hello" as well, though when she says it, it's a bit like "Hewwo", which I think I love even more.
She can also say "ok" which sounds a bit like this guy

...and she's learned how to, and when to, say sorry.
Comes out somehow sounding like an Irish accent?
All in all...yeah, she's a good girl. Had her bad days but overall I'm still really digging the whole thing.
She's big enough to walk now, holding my hand without me having to stoop.
So many people in my town know her...she's very social, and always says Hi and waves to people, has her favourites in certain shops too.
Here's a somewhat recent picture of her prior to a wedding.
She was a very good girl there.
