Chloe, my Chloe
I am constantly amazed at how Chloe grows, learns and changes so very quickly. Here are a few things she has been doing lately that make me smile.
- She is repeating words, and picking up new ones every day...up, cat, dog, meow, duck, no, balloon, tickle, what's that, etc etc...
- Both Mommy and Daddy are named "DA DA" unless it's in the middle of the night, and she doesn't want to take her medicine. Then she says Maaamaaammaaamaaa while shaking her head and nuzzling her head into that little spot on my shoulder that was made just for her. It's like she knows I will just hold her close and savor that moment, and might actually forget to give her the medicine.
- She loves to dance. She will stand using the coffee table for support and sway her hips, tap her right foot, and then bend her knees while bobbing her head. Then, she does it all again like it's her own little dance routine. Sometimes she even hits the right beat with the music.
- She asks for the song "Old McDonald had a Farm" by saying "E-I-E-I-E-I". When you start singing it, she smiles, and cuddles up with you, then busts out with a "duck", "cat" or "Meow" at the appropriate times.
- When you say "honk" she squeezes the nose of the closest person to her. If no one is within arms reach, she squeezes her own nose. HONK!
- She cracks herself up by tickling other people's feet.
- Kisses, kisses and more kisses. She will get a very serious look on her face (kissing is serious business) carefully lean forward, press her nose up against the object of choice (generally a stuffed animal, picture in a book, or a random body part), and will blow her nose just a teeny tiny bit.
