Noelle takes the headband off my head and has learned how to put it on herself.
-Noelle continues to amaze me. A couple of days ago I ask her if she wanted to go color. I could have sworn she answered, "uh-huh," but I wasn't looking at her so I thought, nah, surely not. Then I asked her again and she walked right to the coloring crayon box and touched it with her hand. She has gone from stabbing at the paper with the crayon to actually making continuos lines back and forth.-We were reading and I showed her a XYLO-phone. She put her fisted hand to her ear as though talking on the TELE-phone.
-She thinks Poppy land Gram live in the computer with a second home inside my phone and says one of their names everytime I open them.
-She likes to name the men in her life. Dada (over and over again), Poppy and Papaw.
-She walks very well on her own now and I think I forgot to mention her dance moves. The child is going to have some seriously developed leg muscles. She bounces to music but her bounces are full on squats. She also twists and shakes her head back and forth.
-She is the friendliest little thing I have ever seen. We make friends everywhere we go. Anyone who frequents Target knows about the dollar bins in the front of the store they use to squeeze one more buck from your pockets. They currently have toy versions of Dairy Queen's frozen treats. Noelle saw a package of one soft serve cone and another dipped in chocolate. She wanted them and I gave them to play with thru the store. She was licking the package top to bottom so I decided we could spare a buck and opened them for her. I didn't think she knew what they were; I just thought she was licking the package because she mouths everything still. On the evening of her birthday we had goone to McDonalds and each got a plain cone of soft serve and sat on the floor to eat it. She loved it. Anyway, she held one in each hand and proceeded to act like she was eating the ice cream. Everyone who passed our cart was offered a lick of the tasty treat. It was pretty funny and I couldn't believe she knew what to do with the ice cream.
