1) She likes to mimic everything! Thus, we have to be careful what we say if we don't want it repeated.
2) She LOVES to sing. Sometimes at 2am. Sometimes at 4am. Most of the time through the day. And the little diva can certainly carry a tune! Her favorite right now is "Grace" (Grace, Grace, God's Grace), "Jesus loves me", and "Twinkle, Twinkle".3) She can count to 12. But, she forgets 4 nearly every time. We're working on it.
4) She is a little nurturer. I went into her room at 2am the other morning because she was singing and talking away. She had put both of her "beddy bears" down, put blankets on them, and was patting their backs. "Night Night, beddy bear. Shhh, night night. It's otay, beddy bear. Otay? Otay!"...This was definitely adorable but it took her a while to be convinced that it was time for her to go 'night night' too.
5) She likes to change beddy bears diaper. Then she'll wrap him up in a blanket and walk out of her room patting his back to love on him. Simply cute!
6) She is playing 'pretend' more and more, especially with beddy bear. The conversations they have are hysterical.
7) She weighs 30 pounds, is getting TALL, is losing her little baby-bottom (sad!!), and I think every day her legs lengthen a couple of inches.
8) She LOVES bubble baths. She's smart so she knows when it's bath time, it's bed time. Most nights she's not too excited about going to bed so we have to "convince" her to get in the bathtub with bubbles.
9) She's methodical! I guess that must be a first-born trait. Or a genetic tendency that was passed down by her perfectionist parents. ha! We found her in her room with a nativity set her PawPaw bought us from Africa. She has lined them all up in.a.perfect.row. Then, she had to show her daddy baby Jesus and the shepherds.
Look at that serious face! 
10) We, as parents, have begun to spell out words we don't want her to hear. Remember? She's smart! So we have to spell out words like "E-L-M-O-" or "P-A-R-K" if we want to avoide a melt-down at the expense of a toddler. When did we become those parents? Didn't I make fun of those parents before I had a child?
11) She still loves Elmo and Sesame Street and Bert and Ernie.
12) And, lastly she LOVES to read. Every night it's a struggle to get her to go to bed because she wants "one more" book. Last night, we read for a good 45 minutes through 5 books. After book 3, I told her "one more". So we finished that book. She jumped out of my lap, lifted her finger and said "one more Mommy!". Indeed, we read one more book. Yes, i'm a pushover. =)
We hope you enjoy the latest giraffe pictures of our growing little gal!
