Things we do

Here are a few of the lastest and greatest things Miss C does.

• Likes to pull her step stool up to the counter when we cook and help.
• Carries around her baby dolls and mothers them.
• Talks about poopoo on the potty A LOT whether she is going or not. Even Copper, the dog, poopoos on the potty.
• Speaking of the potty, that is sort of hit or miss. We aren't pushing it and are just going with her flow. That may change but right now it works.
• She loves dressing up and wearing hats. Granny and Grampy got her the cowgirl hat and taught her how to tip her hat and say HOWDY. It is hilarious.
• Her strong will and independence are constantly on display and she wants to try to do everything herself. This often leads to frustration and sometimes meltdowns but she is good about accepting help or asking for it.
• Her vocabulary is ever expanding and she'll rattle off things that we didn't even realize she could say. We don't always understand her but most of the time we can figure it out.
• We think she is going through another growth spurt because she is eating EVERYTHING. Thankfully she continues to eat fruits and veggies and we don't really deny her those. She even eats stuff I won't.
• Right now she is wearing 2T clothes and size 5 shoes.
• Singing is a common activity with Miss C. Her favorite song is ABCD and I think it's because I have been singing that to her since birth. I couldn't think of any other songs in the middle of those long nights when she was first born to sing to her so that's what she got.
• We also sing Row, Row, Row Your Boat, No More Monkeys Jumping On the Bed and many others.
• She especially likes the CD her Aunt Dawn got her that says her name. And wants to hear it over and over again.
• Elmo seems to be the character of choice for her and we read many, many Elmo books. She really likes the flap books that have a "surprise" for her to find.
• At night she goes to bed with her crib full of stuff animals. They have been there pretty much since she was born but now she knows who they all are. There's Fetch (a dog actually named Buster), Wally (Red Sox mascot), Gapper (Reds mascot), Monkey, Elmo and her new glow baby that plays music.
• Cleaning is also one of her favorite things to do and she'll clean up her messes and wipe things off whenever she can. Hope this lasts.
• Our house is full of pictures and she knows quite a few names and faces.
• Overall Miss C is hilariously wonderful to be around. She has a fiery personality but is also a sweetheart who will hug and kiss when asked. Couldn't imagine life without her.
