Favorite Games
-turning on daddy's xbox controllers and watching the lights flash
-walking her cart around the house (and banging into whatever gets in her way until someone comes and turns her around)
-taking things out of things and putting them back in (especially the toy kitchen and the shape sorters she got for her birthday, and her Aunt Rebecca's make-up bag - isn't it funny that they start playing with make-up from so early on?)

  1. Good job, Leila!
    Running into things with the cart and waiting for someone to come turn her cracked me up! Bug did that, too. It was a huge victory when she finally figured out how to turn her stroller by herself.

  2. For memory's sake:

    She also understands (and can't say) "hair"

    She can say (and doesn't NECESSARILY know the meaning of) purse, cracker, goat, sock, stars, and "baa" (as in the sound a sheep makes). And of course, that one word that she loves to say which we have NO CLUE what it's supposed to be

    She LOVES cake..and ice cream. Sorry, I fed her a few bites of ice cream. It's my job as her Auntie. She loved it :)

    Basically, your kid is an all-round genius.
