She is extremely shy around new people, which I secretly love because it means more hugs, hand holding, and lap sitting for me. But for as shy as she is in public, she is equally as crazy at home.

She is sure to tell us what she doesn't approve of lately as one of her newest words is "no". It sounds more like "nuuuuuuuuh" and is accompanied with an arm wave. We currently think it is about the cutest thing on the planet, but I know that will soon change.
Although "no" is now in her vocabulary, so is "please" (or "pease"). It doesn't come nearly as often or as voluntarily as "no" does though. We're working on that :)
She has also started running up to me, reaching her arms up, and saying "dance?" when she hears music on the TV. I pick her up, and she kicks her little feet in excitement as we dance around the living room.
She loves snack time, and she calls most of the foods she eats by name. She even attempts to say "macaroni" and "spaghetti", but my all time favorite food name is "bock bock" - chicken of course.
She squints her eyes, furrows her brow, purses her lips, and gives a little grunt when something is hard to open. "Hard to open" is open to interpretation though because the little grunt comes out even when I'm taking the cap off of the milk jug.
She absolutely loves babies. Babies in books, babies on TV, dolls, toddlers - she loves them all. And she is the sweetest little mommy to her babies. She gives them lots of big hugs. I'm sure her baby brother will be the recipient of quite a few rough hugs. Maybe we should work on "gentle" before he gets here. Either way, he will be loved by his big sister.
My least favorite things about this current stage?
Learning the art of the tantrum
and
The sleep that comes with new teeth.
It can't all be sunshine and roses, right? She's just trying to keep things lively around here.
