Silly Monster

I cant express how much I love this silly monster. She just has me cracking up all day. She LOVES to be silly and definitely knows when she is. She even laughs at herself most of the time also! She is SO smart too. We have never "baby talked" to her. Not even when she was an infant. I don't really believe in or like the whole baby talk thing. We don't want to teach her words that you make sound 'babyish' like "doggie" or "up-y". I kinda think its silly to teach them babyish words THEN teach them the real words. Why not just teach them the real words to begin with? I don't know, that's just my opinion- every Mom has their thing, right?

Anyway!

A few days ago, I was sitting at the computer...Neiko (our monster chihuahua) came and laid on my lap. Makenna decided this was not acceptable and SHE wanted to get in my lap. She came over and started pushing his bottom and said "go". Then of course it turned into a game for the two of them and they started playing. But she just amazes me with how fast she picks up stuff. We were just teaching her "go" the day before and to have her use it out of the blue and in the correct situation is awesome.

Also the other day, we were at the park and they have this steering wheel thing and she was standing at it and I asked her if she wanted to "drive". She turned to me and said "keys?". For me to give her the keys because DUH Mom, you cant drive without keys! Here is a pic...



And the silly little monkey climbed this big guy at the park all by herself. OF COURSE I was right behind her, spotting her, but she didn't need my help at all.



Another tale of sillyness- the other night I was rocking her to sleep (yep, the sleeping plan is still in effect!) and she was flopping this way and that way in my lap to get comfy. She ended up sitting in my lap with her back against my chest. I had my hands on her lap and she grabs both of my hands, puts them on her head and says "hat?". haha So silly. I couldn't help but laugh and of course she laughed too.

I have a feeling we will have a lifetime of laughs with this little Monster :o)
