1.  She loves to say “hi” and “hey” to everyone we pass, everywhere.  At the grocery store she is like someone riding on a float in a parade; everyone gets a wave and a “hi,” along with a sweet dimply smile.

2.  She loves my old Curious George doll; whenever she is upset all I have to do is give her George and she is instantly happy.  She gives him kisses and combs his hair with her little comb.

3.  She loves to give kisses to me and Fox - big, happy, slobbery kisses right on the smacker.

4.  She recently added sound effects to her kisses - something like, “mmmmmmmmmm-AH!” - mimicking me, I believe.

5.  She even more recently began blowing kisses - complete with sound effects.  It’s adorable.

6.  She loves to laugh and play games and giggle and try to get us to chase her and giggle some more.

7.  She is SO OBSERVANT!  She doesn’t miss a thing - though she has always been like that.  On our morning walk, when something catches her eye, she uses her arms to lift herself up out of the stroller and cranes her neck to get a better look - be it a squirrel, a cat, another person, a bird, etc.

8.  When the phone rings, she says, “Hi!”  Sometimes even before I can answer.

9.  She loves to swing in the baby swings.   She laughs and laughs.

10.  She is learning to walk, and she is sooo proud of herself!  The smile just goes from ear to ear.  Then she gets too excited or tries to go too fast, and plop, she’s back down on all fours.

11.  The other night she was playing with her food a little bit - not really eating it - so Fox picked up a piece from her tray and pretended to eat it, to show her that SHE should eat it.  Instead, she picked up a piece, and then PRETENDED  TO EAT IT, TOO!  With a big grin on her face, I might add.  She’s a smarty pants.
