A Mile a Minute

Maybe you're thinking, "Sure she's cute, but what kind of tricks does she do?" She waves, blows kisses, plays a little patty cake...you know, the basics. She also dances a bit like Ray Charles (picture that signature head bob only a lot paler and just as bald). At times, she also likes to sing along and is working on whistling. Her favorite pastime is taking all the plastic wear from the kitchen cabinet and carrying her toys around in them. It is not unusual to find her hugging a baby doll and sweetly patting its back. She is also increasingly affectionate to Marc and I, bestowing hugs, pats, and very open-mouthed kisses. She is adding to her vocabulary regularly. She says momma, dada, some form of Welsey, up, hi, more, book, and a variety of other sounds that seem to mean something very important to her. She has some strong opinions about mealtime, especially related to when it should be, how fast her food should be served, and which items she cares to eat. If an unwanted morsel is offered, she politely removes it from her mouth and hands it back to you. To sum things up....she is a character, and we LOVE her!
