Okay, so the sleeping thing is not going so well .. and the eating thing is just going mediocre ... but I don't care about all that today. Today I would like to talk about all the adorable things my baby does:
My Dakota loves to crawl around and pull everything she can off shelves, out of drawers, out of purses, etc. She does not like to put things back in. But the key is, she doesn't just pull things out. She pulls them out, examines them closely, turning them from side to side, then offers them to somebody else (whoever is closest) ... if you don't take it from her, it's fair game and in the mouth. But I think it is so cute that she always offers things to others first before partaking of it herself (not quite as cute is that she offers our dog her food before eating it herself ... trying to work on that one). =) She is a very generous little girl.
She can touch her hair and nose if you ask her to (she loves to shove her finger up her nose). She gives big open mouth kisses and waives hi and bye (but usually when people aren't looking-she is shy). She loves to play with our dog and laughs so hard her whole body shakes. She points and grunts at everything now and wants to touch and examine everything!!!! She knows how to do the whole "Pat the Bunny" book. She pats the bunny, plays peek a boo with paul, smells the flowers (so cute), looks in the mirror, reads the book, and sticks her finger through mommy's ring). She seems entranced by Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on TV. She loves to take of her socks, and while doing it she makes the cutest grunting sound. She babbles, but doesn't say any recognizable words except for maybe Hailey (our dog's name). Miss Dakota is getting so good at cruising ... so close to walking! I just love my baby so very much! I love to hold her in the middle of the night and feed her while she strokes my arm! I love to smell her hair (usually full of food) and kiss her sweet face. I love her so much and am grateful for each day with her!
