Developmental Updates 

As I begin to start my new job as an advocate for life I want jot down a few milestones of this little blurry life that I want to remember. She asked for the “shahbob” today which turned out to mean bathtub. It seems she has related it to the more understandable “shahwa” shower.

And speaking of the shahwa, she pooped in it this weekend. I leave her in there while I, drying off and suddenly I hear uh uh uh. I peek in and she is just standing there a few steps away looking at it. 

She got a Love2Learn Elmo for Christmas and I finally put batteries in it. Last night it sang her a lullaby and told her good night. So tonight when we were going to bed she asked for him again and as he started talking about laying down she closed her eyes and laid down. She understands him better than I do. 

But her favorite things this weekend bar none are silky panties and plastic grocery bags. She carried one or the other all weekend. We are tired of watching her with the bags so they have been put up high, but the panties are everywhere. She doesn’t touch the lace or cotton. This girl knows what she likes and found every single pair in my last load of laundry.
