Soooo Much!!!

There were so many pictures taken the past few days! And So Many new things we learned!! This was just a fun one, sittin in daddy's guitar case!

One morning I took a big sigh, then Diella copied, so I tried again & she copied again! I love this monkey-see monkey-do stuff!

She has a word for bunny... it's bucky... but at least she's trying! She and I both have bunny slippers, and I'll get a picture soon of us both wearing them... but I'll ask her to go get the bunny slippers and she loves to wear them together! Oh then she kisses my bunnies on the mouth :)

Craziest thing lately with Diella, she understands EVERYTHING I'm saying... like she wore these jamies the other night that have a hippo on em, so I say "Diella, go show Ahna your jamies" ... and she walks over to Ahna and looks down at her jamies!... Then yesterday (dressed up for church) I said, "Diella, I like your dress" She looks down at her dress and points to it!! I have never taught her the words dress, or jamies, or 'go show Ahna' !!!!.... AND tonight at then end of her bath, I said, "ok, pull the plug out" (to let the water drain)... sure enough! She reaches down and does it!!! This girl just KNOWS!!!

She does these few cute little things that I dunno what they mean yet. She does this slow, flirty blink... no clue why, but its hilarious & adorable! And also this repeated shoulder shrug... I dont think she's shrugging 'I dunno' but who knows? And she touches the back of her head sometimes, and she's looking into my face like she's trying to communicate something to me, but I havent the slightest what she's tryin to get at...

We play this new game... I decided that Diella and I were gonna share secrets! So I say Diella, let me tell you a secret... and she's learned how to put her ear up to my mouth & I just go pss pss pss... she smiles... then I say, now you tell Me a secret & I put my ear to her mouth... she doesnt do anything, but I giggle like she told me something funny.... I Love This Game With Her!!

And a few new things we've written down that she's finally gotten the hang of! She can find her ears when we ask her where they are! (still not eyes, nose or mouth yet, only someone else's nose... weird)... but she also finally has the animal sounds down for a horse & a dog! She'll just make this high pitched sound for a horse, and I've taught her how to pant like a dog, instead of bark.... we're still working on a lion's roar... and the rest of the parts of the face, but she's doing really well I think!!




Not in focus, but she Brought me this blue bin & I asked her if she wanted to go in there... she nodded, I handed her her binky & blanket (it was about nap time)... and I swore she was gonna fall asleep in there... but she didnt, it was just for fun!










Ahna was showing me how to write! And I scribbled on my own for the first time!!! Mommy dated it & kept it!

Diella learned how to open the dish washer, and then she decided to climb up & sit on the door... ummm great... well there are knives within reach, so we're not for that, no... so now we have to keep the lock on the washer latched.... sigh*

Yes, I put another set of fake teeth in her mouth, but these ones dont look half as bad as the last pair... you just Cant make this girl look anything less than beautiful!

These shots were cool, but didnt come out as nicely as I had planned... but still, this girl makes any picture look good!

I could NOT get her to look at the camera, but you should see a good angle of her in this hat! It's one that mommy wore when she was a baby! SO Cute on her!!!

"Aunt Alethea, can I have some'a your chicken??!!" And then she just took a big bite! So funny! She even did fine chewin it all up! She likes meat, yay!
