vocab increases as sleep decreases

If there is a correlation, I guess it's because her mind is too full of new words, so she can't sleep. Some recent words she added to her vocab include: car, hug, two, pants. She has started saying "Hi" to people in the books we read. She will sometimes offer a hug or kiss. She is on the verge of taking steps on her own. Her balance is getting good. She still refuses most food that is offered to her but is interested in trying out the houseplants, dry cat food and cardboard packaging. I worked on doing more baby-proofing today.
last night was one of the worst nights yet with lack of sleep. It started out ok...she slept from 8-11pm. She had a 1.5 hour stint then was awake off and on for the rest of the night.

Here are a couple of photos from back in May that we somehow missed uploading at the time.
