things that elicit "More"

As Babygirl continues to develop and grow into being a little person, she's acquiring things she likes and things she doesn't like, as well as the verbal capacity to let Babymamma and babydaddy know what's up. The good thing is that not every question or thing is answered with the word, "No." It's interesting how babies gravitate to a two letter word that's so powerful, but the issues of asserting power is a topic for another day.

So here's the unofficial list of things Babygirl likes:
-baths in a tub with a bathmat, with never ending supply of water from the tap
-"nonnies" also known to you and me as raisins
-whole milk with strawberry Pediasure mixed in
-tuna, the girl loves it
-"Geoge" aka Curious George her daily companion and sleeping pal
-"Elco" aka Elmo another member of her entourage
-"I push the butt" aka I want to push the button on the cd player so I can rock out
-"wahhhk" aka walk, way too cool to ride in the stroller these days
-sitting in the potty for 5 seconds
-climbing into my own high chair when it's time to eat
-"bye bye poopies" said when we flush her poopies away
-balls- loves to throw them
-collecting and gathering objects
-wearing Babymamma's jewlery, watch, shoes, etc.
-looking at "baby" pics, when really they're pics of her from a year ago
-"rock" loves throwing rocks into the ocean
-loves any kind of body of water- salt, fresh, dirty, clean, cold, etc.
-swings- wants to test ride every swing, until she finds the right one @playgrounds
-downward facing dog- loves that yoga stretch
-going through Babydaddy's wallet
-"i see ball" she also shares other things she sees like bikes, etc.
-"i have foot" doesn't realize yet that she has feet
-"haaht" said when her food is hot or her car seat, or whenever

her ongoing obsession these day is the following clip:

Babygirl will ask to watch "Elco" several times a day, and is mesmerized by the singing of India and Elmo. You can even watch her trying to mouth the letters of the alphabet, and soon enough Babydaddy thinks she'll just sing the whole song in one shot.

Babygirl continues to bring much joy and love into our home, and Babymamma and I love it!
