2/1/13


She’s at a stage where everything is so amusing to her which is  fun for everyone :) All I have to do is make a silly face or sound and she’s cracking up!  Peek-a-boo is still her favorite- she’ll go hide behind her crib and pop out with arms stretched saying “Ahhhh “ really high pitched.  She’ll do it a few times, then point to me to go hide- whether she’s the one scaring or being scared, she gets the biggest kick out of it.  We play this game everywhere and is guaranteed to get her so excited she kicks, squirms, and squeels!
She likes when you put things on her head- she’ll grin and move real slowly til it falls out- it’s so cute to see her try to put it back on her head because her proportions are still so her hands just barely reach the top of her head- she especially loves this game in the tub…
            The tub… she loves baths!  When I ask her if she wants a bath, she says “baaaa” and runs into the bathroom- trys to climb in the tub!  She has an Ariel bath toy that I will make to sing like “ah ah ahhhh… ah ah ahhhh (like in the movie)” and Mya will join in (in her own way)  So now she knows what singing means and will hum if you ask her to sing or if she finds Ariel ;)
She is suddenly really showing that she knows what words mean and tries to say them:  I often tell her when food is “hot” and blow on it so now she says “hot” (in a sweet whisper) and blows back and forth.
            Mya says “nanana” for “banana”
            I think she said “duppy” the other day when we saw a dog- she still makes her squeaky high-pitched puppy whimper sound when she sees or hears “puppy.”
            She “ooooohs” really high pitched for a cow’s “moo” and goes “ah-ah-ah” for monkey.
Her super strong head nods and shakes is still her most prominent form of communication .  She has learned she gets something to eat when she nods her head and points so she does it a LOT  and to try to get out of taking naps.  I got her something to eat when she first nodded her head when I laid her in her crib because I didn’t want her to be hungry when napping.  Now I’ve learned that she is smart and sees the nod as her ticket out.
