• …that Orléane is picking up a lot of words recently?
• …that she repeats and mimicks, especially her big brother, like a little monkey?
• …that she’s laughing more and more?
• …that we started reprimanding her sometimes, but it has absolutely no effect: she just laughs at us, and we are having trouble keeping a straight face?
• …that she’s starting to enjoy books a lot more, and requests stories by sticking a book in my hands and plopping down in my lap?

• …that she really likes playing with us, but she also plays well just by herself?
• …that she doesn’t put objects systematically in her mouth anymore, but the tendency is still there?
• …that one of her favourite activities is drawing, but her bad habit of tasting crayons is often cutting down her drawing time?
• …that she’ll dance as soon as there’s an air playing, whether on the radio or just sung?
