October Rocks!

I've learned SO much in the last few weeks. Gramma taught me How big is Maggie? Soooo big! and how to blow kisses, Grampa taught me dadada da da DAA! CHARGE! and how to wave at people, Aunt Abbi taught me where my nose is and Daddy taught me where to find my ears. I can give low-fives and high-fives. I learned how to "say" yes by nodding my head so now I can answer some of Mommy's questions when she asks what I want. I recognize words/signs for milk, food, Cheerios, puffs and water. My favourite foods are avocado, tofu, peas, Cheerios and puffed wheat. I really like cottage cheese with banana but don't care for plain yogurt. Ground beef is good and chicken is good too. I like eating small bits of food from chopsticks. Gramma says I'm a dainty eater.

And I can MOVE! I cruise around on the couch and I can crawl super fast (though I can't catch the kitty yet). I'm curious and starting to "get into things" (that's what Mommy calls it). I can climb all the way from the bottom of the stairs to the top. Yesterday Mommy saw me stand for 10 seconds all on my own (I was busy looking at a lid and forgot that I wasn't holding on to anything).

I've got a fair bit of hair now and SEVEN teeth! (4 top, 3 bottom) The teeth were tough. I got a flu and a cold and a pretty bad diaper rash, but I'm healthy now.

I love my new house. I love playing with plastic containers. I love making kazoo noises with Mommy and Daddy. I love dancing and singing. I love when Daddy gives me baths. I love my books. I love waking Mommy up every morning by giving her zerbits on her tummy and making her laugh. I love giving kisses. I love being scared and being chased and playing "I'm gonna git cha!" and "peek!" I love jumping off the fridge into Daddy's arms. I love kitties. I love birdies. I'm a bit afraid of puppies but my friend Biko is helping me with that. I'm a pretty happy girl.
