Babies, buggies and tea sets oh my!

This week Sk has been into baby dolls. She runs around the house with a baby carriage and her baby in it. She puts her fake purse on her shoulder and begins pushing the stroller through the house. She then takes her baby out and tries to give her tea from her teacup and fake cake and cookies also from her tea set. She has become quite the prissy pants this week. She is saying thank you and please every time she wants something and then gets it. She says baby and duck duck duck. She also now knows where her eyes and mouth are in addition to her nose and belly button. She likes to show people her belly button too. She's hilarious. We have been going twice a week to toddler play time on post and she has enjoyed playing with other children. They have a kitchen set there and she loves it. She cooks and cooks all morning. She also likes the baby dolls and play house too. She will lay her babies down in the play house and give them a bottle. Her ability to learn and comprehend more and more each day amazes me. Everyday it seems she blossoms a bit more and learns something new. I am so enjoying spending this time with her as she grows and learns.

Lord have mercy, we are in for it!

In the past two weeks, Selena Kate has done some serious changing. She now hands me a book and says "book". She also says Ming Ming (the duck from WonderPets). She also has completely quit using bottles and only uses her sippy cup. She has become even more opinionated and now will put herself in the corner when she misbehaves; we are in for it now! (I'm thinking this isn't an effective discipline tool). She is eating with a fork and spoon pretty well and thinks its funny to "feed" her baby dolls and purple stuffed monkey. When she's watching Dora she makes monkey noises like Boots does in the beginning. She dances around the living room during Dora or any music for that matter. At almost 18 months she amazes me with what she knows and learns everyday. We are about to move to Alexandria to be closer to my mom and dad, so we are looking forward to that. Everyday is just another fun day with my silly and sweet girl! Love love her and our life.
