Imitation

Lately, our little girl has been really into imitating things. Last week she started to take the phone, put it up to her ear and say "Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Apparently that is one of the things that I say on the phone...and I had no clue about this habit until she started to do it! On Friday, she put some of her magnetic letters into Miles' mouth and watched him run around the kitchen barking! Well, two minutes later, she was trying to stuff several magnets into her mouth and started barking as well. The best though, (and could possibly be the start to something we are not ready for yet) is saying "No" when we say "No." It kind of still sounds like "Na" which is kind of cute, but we were half expecting for her to greet us on Saturday morning in her crib with a big, fat "No!" We were not sure how to curb this, so we started saying "uh-uh" and shaking our heads, and you guessed it, that is now a fun little game too!

Addison also came up with a new form of crawling on Friday. It is scooting on her knees and pulling herself along with one arm to protect her juice pop from dragging on the floor. Adam affectionately calls this maneuver "the caveman."
