Im noticing some new things emerging in Nora Lee that are so fun and I wanted to share. One is her wit. She is starting to understand humor and to play with words and ideas in such a fun way. She'll say things that I ask Matt if he told her but she's coming up with it! She is also spontaneously laughing often and wholeheartedly. She sometimes says, "I love to laugh!" Me too kid!
She is also expressing her desire to be seen. I've heard her say on a number of occasions lately "Look at me!" She will ask specifically for someone (anyone!) to watch her do something. She has also started throwing a little attitude our way in a very teenager sort of way. Saying things like "Maa-maa" in that tone which says, "Mama, you are being so ridiculous." More of our phrases are coming back at us that we have used with her when she gets moody or out of control emotionally. When we try to hurry her along (usually when putting on shoes and getting in the car - a task that can take sooooooo long) she might say, "OK, OK, take it easy." As if our requests are so out of the blue or ridiculous.
Matty calls her his little string bean right now. She is long and skinny. We are officially giving up on pants with no elastic waistbands because her pants fall down too much. She needs long but tiny waisted pants. I need to measure her but I was shocked to see that in the pool yesterday in the 3 foot area she could touch the ground and keep her head above water. I think she weighs 31 pounds.
We are off this morning to a kid's music show as a family and then will go over to our friends, the Chapmans, home to make pizzas and our own music!
