Today I was giving Neiko a bath in the tub. He hates baths. Although he doesn't fully freak out, you can definitely tell they stress him out. He was badly in need of one though. Anyway. I have Neiko in the tub...Makenna was behind me. All the sudden she takes off running and disappears out of the bathroom. So I call for her and don't hear anything. A second later she comes running in the bathroom. I'm still leaning over the tub, scrubbing the dog and I see her little hand pushing past me to get to Neiko. And in it? A piece of dog food. And in the other hand? A handful of dog food. She stood there and hand fed him one piece at a time, calming him down while I finished his bath. So cute. She is already so thoughtful and would do anything for her Neiko. Check out some pics of the bffs in action...
In other happenings, she is talking a ton now. She tries to say almost any word we ask her to. Some really clear ones are bye, hi, see ya later (which comes out as one word), Help, Up, Mommy, Daddy, Nana, Apple, Shoes, Car, Baby, Please, Thank you and Juice. Of course my favorite out of the bunch is Mommy. The way she says it and her little cute voice just makes me melt every time. I definitely have to get it on film. In the last week she has picked up almost every animal noise I have taught her including Tiger, Lion, Cat, Dog, Frog, Sheep, Monkey, Bird, Cow, Snake. And when you ask her what a bunny does she says "hop hop", what a lizard does she flicks her tongue in and out and what Neiko does- she pants like a dog. haha She really is so silly. She LOVES pretending to be a dog...crawling around on all 4s and coming over for us to pet her and tell her how she is such a cute dog. She also loves to dance...and sing. She has the cutest song that she made up herself. Not of words, its more a "dob-ie dob" kinda sound but its by far my favorite song ever. And of course the baby song where she sings "bayyyyyyyyy beeeeeee bayyyyyyy beeeee". Galloping is also a current favorite activity. She is just so active and fun. I really can't imagine her having a better personality. She is pretty shy around other people though (wonder where she got that from), sometimes I wish she would break out of her shell and let the real Makenna shine though.
As for the sleep issues, we are still working on them. She has gotten a lot better in the past few weeks though. In time!
