a few noteworthy items

hi everybody! see me in my shorts? and check out my new baby doll!
silly girl is very excited that there is a puff in that cup! she has to work very hard to get them out!
still workin on gettin a puff... my baby is growing up so fast. look at this big girl. she makes this face often.- Luci now says DaaDaaDaa (not really in reference to her dad though, as much as he might like to think so ;), and BaaBaaBaa.
-She got her first baby doll yesterday. At Clara's house she always has a hold of a baby so I decided it was time for her to have one of her own. She gives it lots of 'kisses'.
-She is starting to understand the names of some things. Ball, baby, toes, belly, Daddy, cat (that was the first sign of recognition) come to mind. She also knows who Grammy is when Grammy is around.
-She always thinks a nap is coming next when we walk into her room. And she'll let us know if she's not happy about it by trying to grab the door as we walk in.
-When she is done with her bottle or sippy cup or snack, she swats it away with a ferociousness...almost like she's mad we don't just know she is done.
-She wore shorts for the first time yesterday while we went to the park. I don't want to put her in shorts at home because I'm afraid she'll get rug burns on her knees from all of her motoring
around.
-She loves to empty things out & knock them over, but isn't interested in putting them back or re-stacking them.
-She dances to music, and likes to move her head from side to side. Not really a nod yes or a shake no, but a sort of goofy side to side movement. I wondered where this was coming from & then I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the window the other day while I was being goofy. Sure enough, my head was moving from side to side in the same silly manner!
-She may have taken her first little step without holding onto something yesterday. She was standing, holding onto the piano and I was just a tiny bit away. She let go, kept her right foot planted and moved her left foot maybe 6 inches. Woohoo!
