1. When she eats oatmeal: She gets all excited and opens her mouth and her head/mouth lurch forward ONTO the spoon. Oatmeal squishes EVERYWHERE, but in her mouth!
2. When you change her diaper and clothes: She LOVES to be naked! She starts kicking her legs and thrashing about with a BIG smile on her face! Both legs go straight up and slam back down onto the changing pad at the same time. Then she STRETCHES and I think she becomes 5 inches longer when she does this. She found out the other day that this is NOT good to do when she is laying on the kitchen island getting ready for a bath, the wood is NOT as soft as her changing pad. OUCH! But, she laughed anyway and did it again!
3. When she is sitting up: She was playing with a new toy last night and sitting up. She was so engrossed in the toy, she forgot to remember to sit up and S-L-O-W-L-Y tilted sideways until she fell completely over. (Mommy was there to catch her, of course.) When she fell she got this, "Whoa, wasn't I just sitting up?" look on her face.
4. Baths: She MUST have grown this week. She takes a bath on the counter next to the sink. Her head has never reached the bottom of the cabinets before. She discovered the silver bread box next to the bath tub (ahem, it has always been there!) and leaned over to touch it. She went to sit back up and bumped her head on the bottom of the cabinets. Her forehead wrinkled and Mommy laughed. As soon as I laughed, she squealed in delight. LOL
5. Flying: When she sits in her bumbo, her arms go straight out like she is flying. We are trying to catch video of this one...she reminds me of Dumbo flying with a BIG grin on her face.
6. Waking up: I laugh now, because I'm sure for the rest of her life it will only get harder. I go in every morning to wake her up saying, "Good morning Raychel, rise and shine!". SOMETIMES she rolls on her side, stretchs, groans, and curls back up to continue sleeping. Most of the time she doesn't even move! Don't forget I'm talking LOUDLY, the light is on BRIGHT above her (and she is on her back), I repeat myself over and over, and she has been asleep for anywhere from 6-10 hours. She is sooo much like her Daddy!! Once she is getting dressed, she is wide awake and typically talking up a storm! Maybe she has some of her Mom in there afterall!
7. Talking: This girl will tell you everything she knows 25 times and not skip a beat. She talks when she is awake and she talks when she is asleep. She rarely cries at night anymore. She just "tells" Mom that she is up and playing or wants a bottle. Her talking gets more and more "serious-toned" and that lets Mommy know that she really wants a bottle! She even woke Daddy up one night, she talked so loudly and for such a long time! Now, THAT, is really a feat! =)
8. LAUGHING and SMILING: She spends almost ALL DAY AND NIGHT laughing, giggling, shrieking, and smiling at someone or something! She is truly a JOY!
9. List is continuing to GROW!!!
