A few quick, super cute things Katie's been doing lately before I head to bed:
She's started saying, "You're welcome." She's been saying, "Thank you" for awhile, and sometimes on her own- once she said thanks after we told her how beautiful she was. But now, she'll say it like this,"Thank you, you're welcome." Or, when we give her something, she'll say, "Welcome!"
One day, Eric was in the back of the apartment, Katie and I were in the living room and his phone started to ring. I yelled, "Eric! Your phone's ringing!" Katie joined in, saying, "Papa! Papa!" then, "Eric! Eric! Phone!" She called Eric by name again today when he was on the patio grilling dinner.
We took one of her bears with her to day care for nap time. Eric picks her up every day and evidently she makes sure to grab that bear before heading home. He said he got there one day and she said, "Bear!" immediately. She cannot leave without it.
Finally, she's been wrapping up her stuffed animals in anything she can turn into a blanket for months. Any dish towel, cloth diaper or actual blanket gets wrapped around her animals. But, last night, I noticed she was doing two more things: first, she's picking up her stuffed animal, rocking it (this isn't new- she's been singing Twinkle, Twinkle to her monkey for months), and then saying, "Shh, shh, shh, shh," just like we do when we're trying to get her to go to sleep. And then- the really funny thing- is she's groaning when she picks up her stuffed animal like we do because she's getting so big.
She notices everything and mimics us constantly. It's hilarious and the most adorable thing. When she wants something, she'll even tilt her head and nod "yes" like we do when we're talking to her. She's growing up so fast.
