Lately it seems like our little girl is always doing silly things and cracking us up. She is getting so smart and sometimes I can't believe how grown up she is already. To preserve all those silly/smart things in my memory, I'm going to list all that I can think of...
-Whenever she sees people clapping (in person or on tv) she will also start clapping. But if you try to join in with her, she will put her finger to her lips and go "Shhhh!"
-Marley and her daddy have a special "dance" they do together. Marley will stand in front of him and start "stomping" her feet and then he joins in and its hilarious. She won't do this with mommy either, its THEIR thing.
-Whenever Bubble Guppies comes on, she HAS to make eye contact with me, then gasps, and says "Bubble! Bubble!"
-If she manages to sneak into our room, Marley immediately goes to the shoes, grabs one and puts it on the floor, and then tries to put her little foot in it. While doing this she says, "Shoe! Shoe!"
-While changing her diaper the other day I learned that she can copy almost any sound I make. She copied me clicking my tongue, making motorboat noises, saying wow, and many more.
-If she sees people dancing on the tv she starts to dance too. She does that classic "baby dancing" where it looks like shes jogging in place and spinning in circles.
-She is genuinely scared of the washing machine when its first turned on. Marley will go hide in the same place (between the tv stand and her toy bin) every time I turn it on.
-If you sit on the couch and try to eat ANYTHING, Marley will slowly, but deliberately invade your space. She slowly creeps up, like a puppy, and will get right next to you. Then after a few minutes she will swing a leg over and try to sit on your lap. Then she'll slowly make a grab for the food if its something she really wants, all while not making any sound and still watching tv like she's hoping you won't notice.
-She has an imagination! Her new thing is to pick up pretend food off the ground and try to feed it to you. This started last week when I saw her "pick up" something from the ground and ran over to swat it from her hand. She looked at me like I was crazy, and that's how this silly game began.
-Whenever she's playing with a car or toy with wheels she makes the motor sound with her lips. Its her version of "Vroom! Vroom!"
-Marley recognizes when "cute" things are on the tv. Mostly its baby animals, and she gets the biggest smile on her face.
-Whenever we go out to eat, she makes this weird squinty face at the lights. I guess its because restaurants always have different light fixtures or brighter lights than normal. She scrunches up her whole face, and its hilarious!
