what? how? yes, it's true, sad to say.

i guess that's what babies do.  they grow up.

those poor cheeks get squished and kissed and pinched all day long.

can you blame me?

she likes to sit on the toilet and pretend she's being very productive with lots of noisy grunts and giggles. 

there's a bunch more i can't think of.

often times she says her words twice.  first really high pitched and fast and then really low and slow.

like she's trying to make a sentence but only knows the one word.

that or she'll babble a bunch of gibberish and then get to the point and say the one word she knows really clearly.

funny how babies know how conversations work.  like there's more than just the one word, but a whole sentence around it.

still waiting for her to say devan's name and yes.  she says no to everything you ask her.  even when she clearly means yes.

her favorite things to do are climb on the table or couch, color on the cupboards with markers, play hide-and-seek, throw things.  that's really fun for the other kids at dinner time.

biscuits flying across the table are quite funny. 

she loves to dance and swing and bounce and take baths.

and she thinks she's really funny, which she is.


she has a poltergeist voice.
she goes, "mama, mama," all sweet and nice, and then, "MAAMAA!" really low and growly like.... a poltergeist.
kind of creepy.

and she gives really big hugs and kisses.

but she doesn't like to be kissed on the mouth.  if you ask for a kiss she'll offer her forehead.

i get her lips anyway.
