T-1 Month!

Karly is going to be a one year old in less than a month. No longer a baby - a toddler. Crazy.

This girl is crazy (I tell her everyday).

I told her to give hugs and this is what I got:

Could that be any cuter?!? I love her little hands clasped.

And of course...

She had to go for the camera.

So.

I have no idea how much she weighs or how tall she is. She's getting heavy, but still petite and tall-ish. She's growing out of old clothes quickly. How's that?

She is SUCH a little parrot. She copies everything I say as well as she can. She's really good at the K sound, as well as D and is picking up F pretty quickly. The S sound sounds sort of like SH and she refuses to say anything with an M because its too close to Mama. Little stinker.

Words: dada, kak (milk), crak (craker), ung (hungry), ah dah (all done), gog (dog), oof (food), uh uh (ruff ruff), ba (bath)

No only does she copy sounds, but she copies movements. She rubs lotion onto her hands when I do. She motions at me when I say "come here" as if to say "No, you come here." The second Nate puts his jacket on in the morning, she starts waving bye bye. She waved hello at a perfect stranger at Costco today. He loved it.

She absolutely refuses to walk or stand on her own. Let's be honest. She's a little chicken. I know she can do it. When I try to get her to stand by herself, she carefully (and with obvious control) lowers herself to the floor.

She laughs like crazy! Everything is funny lately. I pretended to gag while she was eating dinner the other night and she was laughing so hard, she almost couldn't breathe.

She LOVES her daddy. The second she hears his key in the door, her head WHIPS that direction and she says "Dada!" (by the way, she also says dada when I come home. awesome).

She hates her carseat. I can't wait until she can get a front facing one.

Anyway, that's my update. Sure love that girl (do I say that every time?)
