Ladies and Gentlemen... we have a toddler! 14 months marks the spot - Belle has been walking! And now, she is off and running - or at least attempting to. Her favorite place to run? To the tub. She wants to climb in EVERY moment of the day! It's quite cute/dangerous. She calls the tub "dub a da" as in "rub a dub dub, time for a tub".
Belle is very talkative these days! (I don't know where she gets it. Must be Daddy.) She understands everything we say, and she can (and does) make her wants clear. Which I happen to like. And support. She puts 2 and even 3 words together to form little sentences, and if we don't understand something she tries different combinations. I know. Mensa has a toddler chapter, right? And there aren't parents lined up at the door for testing, are there?
Her favorite thing to do is give all of her toys a kiss. Actually, it's not her toys - she likes to give babies and animals kisses (it doesn't matter if it's only a picture). Yesterday we also had to kiss the picture of corn. (the food, not the band) Of course, Mommy has to kiss everything too, and she asks by holding out the picture/toy and saying "Muah!", which is the sound I make when I give her a big kiss. These things not only get kisses, they get bows too! Everything needs a bow. Lately she wants bows clipped to pictures of animals/babies as well.
So that is our day in a nutshell. Discussing bows, clipping bows onto stuffed animals, babies and pictures of animals and babies. And then giving these objects big smacking kisses. Not bad for a hard days work.
Yay for Belle!
ReplyDeleteJasper loved watching the video; he got a huge smile on his face and kept saying, "Buhl, buhl!".
I told Nathan that Belle is walking, and frankly, he was a bit sad. He sure did love that rutter foot.
She is such a great talker! My husband is generally ill-equipped in complimenting any other children than his own, but after he met her at Jazzy's party, he gushed about how amazing she was and how great she was in speaking her words. Needless to say, he very much approves of their friendship. :)
