All because two people fell in love...: January 2011

Wow I'm 17 months old...thats OLD! I need to stop growing I don't want to be 2!
So what can I tell you about this past month...hmmmm

I really like to dance as of recent. So its a good thing mommy and daddy listen to lots of music :) I don't really have any favorite songs any music will do.

I've been practicing the hand movements for itsy bitsy spider. I can do some of it...but I like it more when mommy takes my hands and has me do it.
(pardon mommy's signing...she doesn't have the best singing voice but I don't want to hurt her feelings by telling her that)

I'm becoming a pretty good talker. I know lots of words and know when to use them. I sort of say "all done" when I'm done eating. I also try to hand mommy my plate. I try to say "juice" when I'm thirsty or want mommy or daddy's water bottle. Daddy taught me the word "nine" i'm not sure what it means though. I thought it meant all the cool shape things mommy got me to play with in the bath, but every time I hold one up and say "nine" they tell me things like "A or 2". So I don't get it. I almost have "up" right. I'm really good at "down". Sometimes I get confused though and say "down" when I really want them to pick me up.

I like to talk on the phone sometimes...
phone

That was not one of those times. I also know how to hang up the phone. Sorry Grandma!

I almost have my back two upper molars. I still only have my top 4 and bottom two teeth in the front. But my bottom two molars are getting closer at coming in too. Okay so I have NO idea what molars are...but I'm pretty good at just repeating what mommy says :)

I help out around the apartment too...see I can do dishes now:)

I also can climb in and out of my highchairs all by myself. I don't even need another chair to climb over any more :) Mommy calls me a monkey...do you know what that means?

Did I mention I like to dance?

Oh I know how to point to all these things now too: nose, eyes, mouth, ears, hair, feet, and belly. I also sort of know where my hands are

Daddy taught me a new game :) It's super fun...but I don't know why he doesn't like to play it that long. I mean I don't get tired at all...why does he?

There was that one incident where daddy put me on a not so fun toy...did you see what it did! I mean it came to life and wanted to throw me from it's seat! I've seen Harry Potter...I saw a car do that once! And there daddy put me in there with no seat belt or car seat...what was he thinking?

Mommy and daddy always says their favorite parts of the day are nap time and bed time. They are definitely NOT my favorite, but I'm a good girl. I know my toys and stuff will be there in the morning, so really no use fighting it...a girl needs her beauty sleep. Mommy even let me sleep with Joshalynn the other night :) (oh and don't let the blanket fool you. I so did NOT keep that on me once she left!)

Yes those are still pacifiers in my crib. Thats the only place they let me have them so don't you dare tell them to take them away from me! I mean I try SO hard every morning to throw them all out on the floor so I can get to them during the day and that darn mommy and daddy! Every time they see me with one, they tell me to put it back and I have to go put it back in my crib or worse...they TAKE IT! Then I don't even know if it will end up back in my crib :\ It's so not fair! Oh AND mommy took all my sippy cups with handles away. It's so much harder now to hold onto my cup and a toy.

Check me out all ready for the next March of Dimes walk :) I mean how cool are these shirts! They have babies on them!
