October's almost over you say?!
My little one is going to be a butterfly for her first Halloween. I found the costume at The Children's Place way back in August. I figured I should grab it while I can because all the good costumes will be picked over by October. Last year at this time the thought of painting my belly like a pumpkin crossed my mind now I'm going to be dressing that little pumpkin up in a costume. Crazy to think about.
Little L has taken her first steps a few weeks ago. She toddles all over by herself having fun. She amazes me every day with something new. She tries to say words but most of the time it just comes out as 'baby talk'. :) But still cute nonetheless. Yesterday she looked right at her Daddy and said 'dada'. I'm pretty sure that made his day. She has yet to look at me and say 'mama' except when she's crying and needs something. :) I know she'll say it soon enough to me and mean it like she knows who I am.
Here's something funny I came across in a newsletter I get from The Baby Center.
Your baby can learn sign language!
Here's how to say:
• "Please change my diaper": Turn beet red and make straining expression, then smile.
• "I'd like something to eat, please": Cram fist in mouth and suck wildly.
• "I'm tired": Make a series of weeping gestures before closing eyes and lolling head backward.
• "Please pass me that thing up there that I can't reach": Point and grunt, then continue pointing and open mouth into screaming position.
• "No thank you. I think I've had enough": Throw food or object to floor with exaggerated grin.
HAHA! :)
