*This is actually an old entry that I haven’t put up.*

So much has happened since we haven’t really updated. Here are some things that she has learned to do in the last 2-3 months (some things might have been repeated from a previous entry – i can’t remember):

– She no longer drinks from a bottle (nipple) and only uses a sippy cup or drinks from a straw. She learned it pretty quickly. At first she would just bite on the straw, but then when I showed her how to suck up the liquid, she did it! We were very proud.

– She can feed herself w/ a spoon. Of course she still makes a big mess, but she’s still learning.

– She can also brush her teeth w/ her new toothbrush.

– She could pretty much identify and point to all the major parts of her body, except her eyes.

– She smiles when we ask her to (like in the 7th pic).

– She dances whenever she hears music or just about anything w/ a beat.

– She screams at the top of her lungs just to get what she wants (and to drive us both crazy).

– She spins around and around.

– She climbs up on the couch, futon, and stairs.

– She understands sit and stand.

– She folds her arms to pray and says “ah-mama” (AMEN)

– She says “Ah-mo” for Elmo.

– She says “hi” to everyone she sees and calls almost every kid “be-be” (baby), even if they’re older and bigger than her. She also says “be-be” whenever she sees us using a camera or cell phone. She wants to see pictures of herself. (vain baby?)

– She says “Boosh”, meaning bird.

– She says “ba-ba” (meaning dad) everytime she hears the door open. (usually because it’s Ether that’s coming home from work, but it isn’t always him at the door.)
