sentences

The other day I suddenly blurted out "Ernie fell down" when my Ernie doll fell off the table.

The shape of things

Yesterday I figured out how to put my shaped blocks through matching cutouts. I have this set of pots and pans and the lid has the cutouts for the blocks. There are circular, triangular, and square blocks. I don't know why I didn't figure this out sooner!

Right now my favorite book is called "Color Carnival" and it features Elmo and his friends. I can identify each friend by name including Zoey, Abby Kadabby, Rosita and Telly. The book also has Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and Ernie. I can also name most of the colors of each friend. For example, I know Elmo is red, Zoey is orange, and Grover is blue.

This reading thing isn't so hard!

19 months, 8 days today

This morning I ate a bowl of cheerios all by myself. That's with milk and a spoon!

I think my favorite food that I can eat by myself is white rice. The stickier the better! I love it when my parents get chinese takeout. I like fried rice too, but not as much.

Yesterday I continued my exploration of two word sentences including: "Daddy home" and "no mine!"

This morning I went to my room, picked up the basket of clean diapers, and brought them down the hall to Daddy. I held up the basket and told him "poo-poo." Daddy was relieved to discover I only had a diaper full of "pee-pee" instead. Oh well, how was I to know? This toilet training thing will be fun!

Getting some attitude

I recently (in the past few days) learned out to say, well scream, "No, Mine!" whenever somebody attempts to take something away from me. For example, if I'm munching on a snack bag of corn pops and Dad tries to take one, I yank back on the bag and holler "NO! MINE!"

I did the same thing to my big sister, except I had ahold of her iPOD.

Vocabulary

Today I pointed to my Halloween shirt and said "Boo." My teacher Miss Lisa thought that was hilarious! I'm also getting really good at saying "No" when Mommy and Daddy want me to come in the house and I would rather play.

One thing that is really fascinating to me right now are buckles. I LOVE TO DO MY OWN BUCKLES! In fact, I can't stand it when grown-ups try to help me. LET ME DO IT BY MYSELF DANGIT!

Barack Obama

Everyone seems to get a huge thrill every time I saw "Barack Obama." I'm not sure what the big deal is. I mean, the other side is embarrasingly unable to clearly articulate their proposals!
