"Burp" Yep, that is her first actual work (other than mom or dad) Every time she does it, we say the word and since those are easy sounds for her, the word just came out. Just now is she understanding the word "uh-oh" and is now trying to say it. She has her own sounds for thank you. She loves to mimic everything. I direct music a lot at church and she thinks that is a normal thing to do when she hears music. She loves to sing and dance. She even has her own dance moves. (she has just recently combined dancing and walking so it looks like she is penguin walking) No one taught her what dancing is, she started it on her own. That makes me think that music will be a big part of her life. One evening, she was over tired and wouldn't fall asleep so I put the laptop at her door to play some soft Christmas music. She immediately calmed down but the music stopped for some reason and she started crying. I fixed the problem and she quickly fell asleep. The day after Thanksgiving, the town puts on a Christmas parade so we lined up to watch it in the pickup. Every time a float with Christmas lights came around we all oood' and ahhh'd. Now every time she sees Christmas lights, she ooo's in a high pitched voice. So cute!
Maci can point out where your nose is and also the eyes (she usually pokes your eyes) and we are working on the teeth. Her top molars kind of snuck up on us. She was having really runny diapers and I thought it was because she was loving her oatmeal. But a few days later, I thought she was chewing on a piece of paper and saw that they were teeth. She is still teething today and is quite fussy and clingy, which is a new experience for all of us.
She loves to play peek-a-boo and chasing and being chased. She growls really good and my personal favorite: she knows the sound a cow makes. When she sees a cow, she moos. Love it! Definitely my girl! She points at everything and makes a snake (sssss) noise.
I haven't found any cute Christmas clothes this year so we went outside to take some winter pictures. She loves to watch the snow fall. It was magical for her. Christmas will be in Kansas this year with 4 girl cousins to play with. Super excited for Christmas morning.
