10 Cute Things

1. We don't know where she learned it, but instead of hi or hello she says,"HIYA!" She says it all day long, to us, to her friends, everyone. "Hiya Daddy! Hiya Ernie!"
2. She sings along to parts of lots of songs we sing her. She chimes in on Rawhide and Hello Goodbye and Country Road in this super high squeaky little voice. "Where we beeeloooong!"
3. One of her favorite games to play is hide. She gets one of us to crouch behind the couch and she walks around pretending to find us going, "Happened Mama? Happened Mama?"
4. She gets attached to random small objects and carries them around in her hands all day long. Most of the time its crayons or magnets or rocks. The other day it was a tampon!
5. Her daddy taught her the "piggies" game and she can say it with him. The best part is when she says, "Roast beef!" When we put on her socks, she says, "byebye toes or byebye piggies!"
6. She can say all these really long words like hippopotamus and opposites.  We make her say them all day long so she gets lots of practice. 
7. She is still very affectionate. We'll be walking around at home and she runs over and grabs our legs and gives us tight hugs. Sometimes, if we are lucky, she grabs our cheeks tight, pulls us in and gives us a big kiss on the mouth.
8. One of her latest things is trying on all Mama's shoes and walking around the apartment in them. Her favorite are the ones that make lots of noise. Sometimes she finds my bras and puts those on too!
9. If she is eating or drinking something she really likes, she says, "Nam nam nam delicious!" 
10. She love being ciplak (naked) and when have undressed her, she squirms away and runs as fast as she can, squeeling with delight saying "oh yeah!"
