She'll crawl to my diaper bag and get her water bottle out when she's thirsty. She tries to put necklaces, washcloths, Bracken's underwear, or socks on her head (and if I try to help she get's very upset!) She bugs Bracken and takes the one toy he wants, pulls his hair until she gets a reaction, and goes between screaming when he tries to hug her, to crawling all over him and giving him kisses. We're teaching her to be nice.
She's very vocal about what she does or doesn't want. I have never heard a kid scream as loud as she does. When she's upset she acts like the world is coming to an end and we can totally put words to her expressions. (for example: "SERIOUSLY!! I cannot believe you just set me down!" or "I do NOT want my diaper on, let me go naked!" or "Why can't I throw all of Bracken's clothes out of his dresser onto the floor and then climb in the drawer?")
On the sweet side, she's learned to clap and wave. She loves to wave at every single person we walk past in the store and beams when they respond and say "hi" or wave back at her. She pats my back when I pick her up and give her a hug. She loves to give kisses (and then try to bite my nose). She's sleeping much better at night. She loves to bounce on Bracken's little trampoline. She loves fruit smoothies, and usually eats more than Bracken in the morning. At least one full cup. She loves to walk when we'll hold her hands, and she's taken a step here and there, but doesn't seem to want to walk on her own yet. She has a smile that always makes me melt, or laugh out loud. She definitely adds some "sugar and SPICE" to our lives.
