Our Funny Stuff

This is my attempt to cover some things in the last few months that made me think, "I've GOT to write this down!"
  • Have I ever mentioned that Leslie says "bye" to EVERYTHING? It's always been my way of helping her let go of something she's not willing to let go of...like "bye bye bubbles." We've been doing that since she was a year old, but for the past three months or so she's really taken off with it. When we go inside she says "bye bye outside, bye bye trees." When she gets out of the car and takes out her paci that's attached to her car seat she says, "bye bye nunu, bye bye car."
  • Her enthusiastic "uh huhs" often get us laughing.
  • Ever since about 9 months, when Jody would button her pants, he'd make an "uh" sound, as if the pants were too tight. She started doing it herself at about 15 months. Yesterday she was watching me dress....as I went to button my pants she said ,"UH mommy, UH mommy!"
  • I tried to get her to hold a caterpillar the other day, and she screamed "no!" Apparently she's more like Aunt Trish than her mommy.
  • When you change her diaper, she says "hoo weee" or "hoo weeee, cici (Leslie)". Even funnier, she often says that while she's pooping. And she used to say it like, "ah wee"....very French. I miss her saying it that way :)
  • She has two words that she pronounces with her mouth closed. She still doesn't say Walker, but "hmm hmmm" (the way should would say woof woof as a baby). It's always, "bye hmmm hmmm," "mi (move) hmmm hmmm," and "hmmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmm," while holding her hands to her face to call for him. Also, when she asks for Sprinkles, she mumbles it as if she has her paci in...every time!
  • She gets so excited about visits from Kyler, it's hilarious! If she hears the front door open, she assumes it's Kyler, and stars screaming "KAKA!!!!!!." If Kyler ever falls, she walks over very concerned to check on her, saying "uh oh Kaka."
  • She sings along to Lady GaGa's Paparazzi!

Our First "Hang!"

Leslie held on and hung from the bar at the park for the first time today! I was so proud :) I was so excited I call Jody and made him meet us out there so she could show him her new trick. And now I need to spend hours noting her other accomplishments that I haven't been blogging :)
