Smiles Sweeter than Sugar!

Here are some of my favorite smile pics from the past couple of months. She loves to put her tongue out a lot! She has been so much fun! She is growing and changing every day. Some of her favorite foods are: black beans, blueberries, peaches, mandarin oranges, Gerber fruit snacks, yogurt melts, Gerber puffs such as cheese puffs and zesty tomato, Mum-Mums, pasta with or without sauce, peas, corn, sunflower seeds, ketchup, and many other things. She also really loves Chic-fil-e. I'll get her a single chicken strip meal with fruit instead of fries, and she'll eat the entire thing!

She says many words such as mama, dada, bye, hi, yeah (all the time! She says yeah when she wants something), night night, bath (ba), Elmo (sometimes it is mo-mo), and almost book, dog, GiGi. She has also mastered the art of fit-throwing! She's pretty good at being dramatic. Yesterday when we picked her up from the church nursery, she saw us, walked half-way, and stopped at a rocking chair, putting her head down on the seat and crying. One of the ladies had to carry her the rest of the way! It was the funniest thing how she was too sad to make it the rest of the way! It broke my heart, but Brady and I could barely contain our giggles at the pathetic and dramatic scene!

She has learned to brush her teeth by herself, jump (but her feet aren't coming off the floor yet), climb, run, close every door, gets my cell phone and says hi as she holds it up to her ear, put buckles together like on a shopping cart seat (in fact, she gets mad if you put her in and buckle it for her. She has to do it herself!), waves, gives high-fives, tries to eat with a spoon, and so much more. Everyday I am so amazed just watching her! Just a year ago she was learning how to smile and laugh. She was just a baby lump, and now she is her own person who acts very independent and has to do everything herself! She is truly a joy!
