Niw Shtuff!

I could not believe this, cuz it came outta the blue! but i was giving Diella her bath, and i always make a big deal out of ducks when we see pix of em, and i say Duck! Quack Quack! and when i did that in the tub (with her rubber ducky) she said, Ka Ka" !!!! i was like what? did you say quack quack? she goes Ka ka"!!!! she says QUACK!!! woo hoo! and she ALMOST says mama, like she's finally doing the M sound, and of course i been tryin to get her to say mama since she was BORN, but the other day it was like "momomom" ... i didnt wanna get too excited, but she's done it quite a few times since then! like this morning, i said, "Diella, say ma ma ma" she goes "Hi" and walks away, and with her back turned, she goes "momomom" .... hehe grrr!

i was sitting on the porch with her, and she goes inside... and shuts the door! like shuts me outside! so i slowly push it back open and like smile & gasp, and she cracks up and does it again! so over & over we did it, it was fun!

there's this Veggie Tales song, "Stand Up" ... (theres a million of em, and we play em all the time, and we know em ALL)... but THIS one, Every Single Time i sing this little line from it, she IMMEDIATELY dances, side to side... no matter where we are, the changing table, the floor, standing up, in the car, etc... that's her favorite! the one she recognizes right away! this other dancing thing she's been doing... oh my gosh, hilarious, gotta get it on video... like when she's excited, she'll spin in a circle, like kinda pivot on one foot all the way around, then keep going... it may not sound funny, but it IS! you gotta see this! and when she gets SO sleepy, she gets fricken hyper! like walkin so much she falls over. and she'll lay her head on my lap or chest, & then pick it right back up & then put it right back down, like over & over & at a pretty fast rate... also funny to see!

while we were outside today, this girl got so dirty, i love it! i mean, i dont want her to be all 'boy-ee' ... but dont want her to be afraid to get dirty either, go girl, have fun, get dirty! did i mention she starting playing peek-a-boo on her own with the blanket? jus did it all of a sudden one day! well this other game with the blanket we love, like i put it on her and say "Diella, hello? where'd you go? i cant find you!" and she pulls it off her head and pops out with this big smile! love that game, gotta give it a name!

oh, she LOVES to watch people jump... other kids, me... whatever.. she thinks its hilarious! like the other day, she wasnt eating very well (well, she still isnt really... she's got ear ache, boo).. but every time she took a bite, i would jump up & down and say YAY! cuz she got so excited she would take another bite, it worked... and was funny :) ...

she's been saying Hi alot, and now she does it when you put the phone up to her ear, whether or not theres someone on the other line saying it back... love that! (she & Ariaria must have planned this... see? they got on the PHONE and decided to both do it!) ...

since she's not been feeling well, she wants to be held alot, so if i'm sitting down, she'll crawl up me and wrap around my neck, and as i hold her, her legs keep going, like she's trying to get even closer! and i'm like, honey, i'm already holding you honey, you cant get up anymore" she almost fell off the other side last night, trying to continue crawling up me... hehe...

um, she's been trying lots of new foods... likes mandarin oranges, green grapes, etc. yea... she's not the best chewer tho... i gave her chic peas, she liked em, but chokes... i wanna get her on 'bigger people' foods, but she tries to swallow too soon :-/ ...

and i'm really glad she knows her name cuz i call her everything BUT Diella... like Bizook, and Doopie, and Biju, and Honey Pot Nugget Face Head... did i say that in another blog? oh well... there ya have it folks! hope you enjoyed! Now all you have to do is come see her for yourself!!! :-D
