As of Late...

Well, it is official...you are changing every day! Doing new things, saying new words, surprising us with your funny little personality. Here are some notes (and of course some pictures) of some of my most favorite moments...as of late.
You love to give kisses now! When mommy or daddy say they want a kiss you don't hesitate to plant you slobbery little mouth right on us. (who knew someone else's slobber could be so cute!!) And even better, is when you give a kiss without being prompted. The other night, I was rocking you to sleep. I thought you were long gone, but you all of the sudden lifted your head up. I quickly closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep in hopes that you would do the same when you saw me. Instead you decided to give me a kiss, twice, right on the mouth (hello, melting heart!) I opened my eyes, smiled, gave you a big hug, then continued to rock you to sleep!

Most babies your age aren't big fans of hats, suglasses, or anything out of the normal...but you LOVE the accessories...bows, headbands, hats, sunglasses, and apparentely Tutus!! One of your teachers, Miss Taura made tutus for all of the girls in your class, it was her birthday and she wanted to dress you guys up and take pictures. I hear it was quite a sight seeing you and all your friends parading around the school in your matching tutus. Sure enough, when i arrived to pick you up that day, you were the only one still wearing one. You even got upset when I took it off that evening to get you ready for your bath!

This is something you've done for a while now, but I just recently captured it on camera. When it's time to eat you refuse to set anything your are holding, down. I once gave you chicken nuggets to eat when we went grocery shopping. I gave you a container to put them in that was sitting right next to you but you insisted on eating out of one hand and holding all future pieces in the other hand. You had 4 nuggets in one hand and you're hands are tiny!! The same thing happens at home, you will have five pieces of a waffle in each hand, yet pick the pieces up off your tray to eat, and when you need a drink, you find a way to hold your cup in your wrists so you don't have to let go of any of your food. And you refuse to let anyone empty your hands. I dropped you off at school one time with a bite of toast in your hand that was at least an hour old...you had a death grip on that thing!!
These pictures are from earlier this week. You are holding an art project (a flower) that you made at school, some food, and a pacifier, all while taking a drink.

You are also becoming more and more interested in your babies. You love to feed them, try to give them your paci, cover them up and put them "night night" bathe them and cutest of all, you love to pick them up and pat them on the back to love on them.

Your new favorite word is SHOE. You love to say it and you will go around the house, picking up peoples shoes and bringing them to their rightful owner, then pretty much demand they be put on:)
You also now say NIGHT NIGHT, HI and ME.
You are beautiful, funny, entertaining, loving and sweet and I love you to peices!
