"I'll do it myself"
********************
********************
After the last few mornings, I find it necessary to discuss some of Marie's latest habits. Some are definitely more enjoyable than others, but all are entertaining.
1. Baby dolls - she loves to cuddle, kiss, scold, rock them.
She will hand them to Mom & Dad to do the same.
2. Stuffed animals - all of the above apply here as well.
Every morning she hands us her stuffed lamb, "Baa",
so we can kiss him good morning.
Here she is with Boston, her little black lab.
3. Hair Combing/styling - oh boy. This is not an enjoyable
part of the day for Mom or Marie. However, it is necessary -
she wakes up with all this body in her hair and it is
all over the place. Thick & curly hair, here we come!
4. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse - the "hot dog" dance is her favorite song!
This has made some of the hair combing a touch easier.
5. Yogurt - this girlie would eat a large bowl
6. Pretending Charlie is chasing her - Char just simply gets up and walks
into another room and she becomes giddy and runs away.
Meanwhile, Charlie hasn't even noticed he was a part of the chase.
7. Swinging - especially when Daddy twists the ropes
and lets her go fast.
8. Getting Dressed - this is always an experience that usually ends
up with one of us, if not both, in a sweat.
(notice - still in p.j.'s and she is insisting that she climbs the stairs by herself)
9. Ravioli - spaghetti sauce, mmm.
Marie could live off spaghetti sauce alone.
However the wiping off/cleaning up part of dinner - not as enjoyable!
10. Hugs & Kisses - she is really into giving good, tight,
almost break-your-neck, hugs right now.
Followed by an open-mouth kiss of course.
We have definitely noticed the transformation from baby to toddler.
Moods are changing minute to minute.
On the other hand, Marie is so much fun right now.
She notices everything, comments on everything,
and is forming an opinion on everything!
All this and she is only 14 months?
oh boy...

So glad Baaa is a fav! She is certainly growing up quickly!
