my baby

isn't a baby anymore. she is growing up way too fast. she repeats almost EVERYTHING we say to her. she is so smart. we will do something random, and my daughter picks up on it and does it over and over again, days later remembering. she is like a sponge.

somewhere she picked up that when my husband or i get up from our seat, she will run over and climb up. then when we return she giggles and smiles at us all proud thinking she is funny. we laugh every time. we have no idea where she picked that up from.

also, she thinks she is done with her highchair and tries to climb up on the kitchen chairs, even the bar stool chairs. she just swings her little leg up and tries with all her might. thankfully, she can't do it yet. the chairs are leather, so a little slippery for her. i think it's time for a booster seat.

lately, she screams bloody murder when she sees us get a washcloth to change her diaper. she used to just go lay down and wait for you to return to change her diaper. i don't know what that's all about, but that can end anytime now...it's a little dramatic.

she learned how to fold wash clothes a LONG time ago. i know i've mentioned she loves to do laundry with me. so i showed her and helped her fold wash clothes a few times. she did it sloppily for a while, and now, she's a pro. she even takes the pile of wash clothes and goes and puts them away.

daddy is still her favorite person in all the world. he can do no wrong. he is pretty goofy. he would be my favorite too.

she has given up milk. she actually did this at about 18 months, i couldn't get milk into her for anything. so she would eat yogurt and cheese up the wazoo. now, even a single slice of cheese constipates her for days. i think she may be lactose intolerant. this will be interesting, i pray she isn't. so i think that we will have to try some other ways to get her the vitamins she needs.

she learned "uppy" a few weeks ago. i have NO idea where that word came from either. we never say that. whenever she walks up to us and wants us to pick her up though she chants "uppy" over and over again.

she has started to undress herself. this is my fault. before bath and in the morning when we get dressed, i tell her to take her pants off and show her how. and then i show her how to take her shirt off. i then tell her to get dressed and show her how to put her pants and shirt on. so when she goes down for nap but doesn't feel like sleeping, off come her clothes. it's hilarious. or at least it will be until she poops and takes her diaper off.

she moves into the toddler room in a month. i just can't believe it. she rarely goes to daycare, but i just can't believe that she is big enough to be in that room with the rest of those children. where has the time gone!?

i'm sure there's more to update on her, but my head is pounding and i need to eat something. family is in town and it's game mania at our house today/tonight. so until tomorrow...let time stand still.
