Now that I am one, I like to get into things. My favorite thing to get into right now is Mommy's wallet. I love to take out every card, dollar, and receipt I can find. I get mad when we are at the store and mommy takes it out but then won't let me play with it!
Something else I like to do is pull things out of drawers and cabinets. Oh, and don't get me started on fresh piles of folded laundry!
I also like to talk on the phone, though I usually hold it behind my head a little, and not next to my ear. I like to yell for daddy, like mommy does. "Daaaaaah!!"
I have recently discovered that flushing the toilet is super fun. AND pulling all the toilet paper off the roll, then tearing it to pieces is super fun too.
Buttons are still fascinating to me, I love them. I love pushing buttons on things like the dishwasher and remote.
TV is ok, I like to watch shows when there is music playing or if there are animals featured. I like to watch old school Sesame Street with mommy occasionally too.
I like to dance when I hear music, I kind of bob up and down a little, sometimes I change it up a bit by doing a little rocking back and forth. I like to play on the piano too!
I have a kitty, I like to hug him and try to kiss him, but he usually runs away. I don't have a doggy, but they are my FAVORITE! I can even say "doggy" and "kitty."
I think mommy and daddy's noses and mouths are really neat. I like to stick my fingers in them. I only have two teeth right now - but they have so many!
Even though I don't have very many teeth I won't eat baby food anymore. That stuff is disgusting! I like to eat what mommy and daddy eat. I love pickles, pasta, tacos, ice cream, oatmeal, hamburgers, and smoothies. McDonald's is one of my favorite places to go!
I "OoooOooo" at anything I would really like to get my hands on. Things like keys, phones, cameras, medicine... pretty much anything I'm not supposed to have.
I am getting pretty good at standing up without holding on to anything - and I am doing it all the time now! I have even started taking a few steps! My first two steps were last night at Aunt Beep (Stephanie) and Uncle Michael's house.
Speaking of - they are probably my two favorite people in the whole world. Probably even more favorite than mommy or daddy sometimes. Beep feeds me yummy treats whenever I go and visit her. I get sad when she can't stay and play with me for what I deem as the appropriate amount of time - which can vary given my mood.
I love to play with my baby doll, Svet Lana... I am trying to say "Lana" now. I also say "Where did it go?" But it sounds more like "D'go?" Overall, most things are still "Da."
I point at everything I see... you know, just to keep mom guessing.
I am starting to be naughty about some things... I will hit mommy on the face. She tells me "no"... I look at her for a second, then hit her again. She keeps threatening me with something called "time out" and "spankings" but I don't know what she is talking about.
I like sleeping sometimes... but never alone, and certainly not in that awful crib. I prefer it when mommy holds me. I don't understand why she won't hold me all night.
I love strangers! I will stare at them until they acknowledge me, and pay me a little compliment. I have come to expect it.
I love to be out and about where there are lots of people to see. Especially kids - I love to watch and boss around other kids.
I don't have much hair, the hair that I do have sticks out in the back. Mommy keeps saying things like, "Hopefully she will get some soon" - I don't mind! I just wear bows, and usually keep them in, unless we are riding somewhere in the car, then I promptly pull them out. The car... hmmm.... I am not sure how I feel about car rides... they are great if I am sleepy enough to take a nap, otherwise I get bored pretty fast.
I love, love, LOVE to look at pictures and books. I have quite a collection growing. My favorite books are animal picture books. I like to growl when I look at the animals!
I like to scrunch up my nose and make funny faces. I've been tilting my head to the side when I look at mommy and daddy lately. They seem to get a big kick out of it, so I keep doing it.
I like to talk very loudly... bang on the windows... and follow mommy around the house.
I love bath time! I like to drink the water, even though mommy tells me not to.
It makes my day when daddy comes home from work. My face lights up and I scramble to go and greet him. I love it when he chases me, and like to chase him back too. I love my mommy, I love to give her hugs and kisses and giggle when she makes funny faces and sounds.
I like to do all these things... now that I am one!
