Pride and Poop

I've often thought about those moments when I would be most proud of my daughter.  Most parents would be proud of their daughter's first day of school, graduation from college, her wedding day, and her first child.  I never thought that my baby's first poop would make me jump up and down with glee.  The pure joy that my daughter pooped and peed in her toilet was amazing.  Normally with a dirty diaper you just want to get the job done.  But, at the moment when my daughter did her first #2, I had to take it in for a moment. We did a hi-5 as if we we'd just finished a big project.  Well in an 18 month olds life, it was huge.  So today, I'm a proud mom!

"Dada"-Daddy
"Doddy"-Doggie
"Dockie"-Ducky
"Hi"-Hi
"Byeee"-Bye
"Uh-huh"-Anytime you ask her a question like "Do you want to go to the park? 'Uh-hu'"
"tetee"-Kitty
"Didi"-Titi (Our daycare lady's daughter's nickname"
"Doey"-Zoey (little baby at daycare)
"Ayan"- Ryan (friend at daycare)
"Momma"-only when she's really upset and wants me
"tsss"- a sound she uses when pointing to something that she wants

Baby signs she knows:

Want more
all done
Blanket
Baby
Mommy
Play (just started doing this one)
Taps top of head if she wants your sunglasses or hat

She loves books. She plays with her books, looking at the pictures and pointing more than anything else. She loves to play outside and walk, and walk and walk. She's very independant and likes to roam free. I love seeing her grow and develop.

She is soooo affectionate. She gives so many kisses and hugs. She's my sweet pea and I love her.
