New words!!

So, over just the last couple of days, I have learned to say... "run," (it comes out like "un")"Nana" (which I'm learning I can use to say that I want a banana, too!), Wren (sounds like "en"), I said "BALL" (it USUALLY comes out sounding like "ul"), and "ni ni" (for Night night).  Also, I was watching Word World today and learned to say "pu!"  Putting my lips together to form sounds is one of the hardest things for me at the moment, so me and Mommy were excited that I was able to do it!  I am saying many new sounds during the day, but those are the ones that Mommy was able to understand with meaning.

And, before bed tonight, Mommy was putting lotion on me while I was sitting on her lap.  I saw the lotion bottle, and was reading "Ma" "Ma."  Mommy heard, and said, I was sounding out Ma-gic!  Baby Magic!  She was sooooo excited, and I love it when she tells me she is proud of me!  I am, too!  I am finding my voice, and I LIKE IT!!!!!!

It began last week, when Mommy decided to give sign language a better try, now that I am older and understand everything.  I have caught on fast, and I really like being able to communicate with Mommy and Daddy more easily.  I like to sign so much, that I tried making up my own signs today, but Mommy was getting confused.  She said she needed to teach me some more signs, so that I can tell her even more!  I am looking forward to it!! :D

Mommy also got me to FINALLY drink from a straw!  I really love my straw sippy cup, now!! :)

I have a new favorite book called, Go, Dog. Go!  I really like to say "dog" and "hat" and those are two words that show up A LOT in that book!  It's great, because Mommy reads to me and stops right before those words, so that I can say them!  It's so much fun!!

Here is my week in a nutshell....
Monday- Play and learn with Noah (Mommy babysits) and gymnastics with Inez (I LOVE jump jump jumping on the trampolines!!)

Tuesday- Play and learn with Noah and Oliver (my friend and son of Mommy and Daddy's friends Madeline and Lucas)

Wednesday-Free day for Mommy, which sometimes means I get to go see Nana and my friends that are there

Thursday- Play and learn with Noah

Friday- Play and learn with Noah

Saturday and Sunday- Play and learn with Mommy and Daddy!! :D

Mommy thinks it is funny to have Wren hang on my back.... I do NOT!

Mommy and Daddy think it's funny to do this to my face when taking off my shirt.

I think it's funny, too!  I run around saying "run, run, run!"

Christmas is only days away.  I hear I'm going to get LOTS of TOYS!!  I can't wait to have lots of fun with ALL OF MY FAMILY!!!


PS.... I DO NOT like visiting Santa Claus!!!!  (But... he can still bring me toys!!)
