New words this week

So Little Miss has decided to say a few more words this week. Her favorite food is bananas, so she'll point to them in the basket (even after finishing a whole banana) and say "nana."

Last night, she took hubby and me by surprise. He said "it's bath time!" and she responded with "Bah Tie!"

She's getting better about calling me "mama" and her daddy "dada." She also loves to growl like a monster, especially if you do it first.

This weekend, she amazed us. I went to Target on Saturday and picked up a couple of new bath toys. One of them is the Fisher Price Sesame Street Tub Pots and Pans. The first time she saw it, she wasn't exactly sure what to do. I showed her how to use them and how to put them away. Then she spent the rest of her bath time taking the "pots" off the color-coded pegs and hanging them back up. That was all she wanted to do! It was as if she was doing it over and over until she did it perfectly. The next day, my hubby gave her a bath. He decided to put them on the wrong color, and Little Miss took them off and put them in the right place! I assume that means she understands how to coordinate colors, but maybe that means she's just a little OCD. :)

The next task I did on Sunday was put her little adult-steered trike together. She wasn't quite sure what to do, but once we showed her that her feet belonged on the pedals, she would place her feet back up there when they fell off! After our initial stroll around the cul-de-sac, we took her off the trike, and she tried to climb back on. Once she figured that out, she got off and then got back on again!

Man, people in today's world can learn a lot from my daughter. If at first you don't succeed, try try again!!
