My baby is fitting in with the big kids nowand taking care of her own babies




I guess she's not my "baby" any more. It seems like she's changing and growing up more and more each day. Although she's become quite a bit crankier lately, she's still the sunshine of my life.

Oh how I love her...let me count the ways...

1. She's recently learned the word "no" and will sometimes shake her head and little finger too. It's so high pitched and so cute
2. Whenever she sees the kids getting a treat she will stand and hold her little hands, palms up together, waiting to get her share...can we resist?
3. She's easily offended
   
4. She'll say "where are you?" when she's looking for you, although it sounds more like "ere a oo"
5. Sometimes we'll get a good pucker when we ask for a kiss and more often than not, it's a snotty one
   
6. She loves building towers with blocks and reading her books
7. She's really good with puzzles
   
8. I love when she tries to sing along to the music in the car
9. She knows how to use an iphone
   
10. Some of her "words" are: hi, hello, bye, uh-oh, gone, cheese, peek-a-boo, go?, Daddy, Mommy, baby, banana, one, two
    
11. She'll pull her little hand up in her sleeve to trick us that she has lost her hand
12. She can give pretty good tickles
13. Has a funny fascination with the fire alarm
14. She puts her garbage where it belongs
    
15. She knows everyone's shoes and will bring them to everybody as a nice little hint
16. She can even open the front door...dangerous right?
17. She blows kisses to her daddy every morning when he leaves for work, or anytime she finds a purse or backpack.
    
18. She's so cute...I love her big belly, her baby cheeks, her cheesy smile...and did you notice that hair?! Yea, she actually has some.
