Have Baby, Will Travel

This is how my niece has handled the week.

Eating an Oreo: Pure Enjoyment 

Tuckered Out

Me: What song do you want to sing?

Baby: Spider?

<We sing the Itsy Bitsy Spider x5>

Baby: Twinkle?

<We sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star x5>

Me: What next?

Baby: Spider?  

Me: We just sang Spider.  Try another one.

Baby, thinks for a few minutes: Twinkle?
(I promise she knows more than just two songs)

Pretty baby admiring the pretty baby while brushing her teeth

The cutest picture ever. 

Baby, admiring herself in the mirror

Me: Who is that?

Baby: Lexy (but when she says it sounds like 'sexy') 

Baby, admiring a picture of herself

Me: Who is that?

Baby, pointing at herself and then at the picture: It's you!

Self taken picture - she is slowly improving.  

I love her smile.  

Me: Can you say 'Mississippi'?

Baby: Sippi!

Me: No, Mississippi.

Baby: Missippi!

Playing on Great-Grandpa's porch

Me and the Niece

Me: Do you want to take a shower with Sarah?

Baby: Yes!

Sister: Baby, if Sarah were to jump off a cliff, would you jump too?

Baby: Yes!

Milk - taking the straw in and out of the
cup was her favorite thing to do
during the meal.  

Playing at Nichols Park in Jacksonville, IL

Me: No really?  If your friend were really going to jump off a cliff, you would just follow?

Baby: Sarah? (looking around for her)  

Looking at me like I'm crazy for taking so many pictures of her

Teddy: Her best friend, except when
anything caught her eye

Baby: Teddy fell!

Me: Well, yeah, he fell.  Because you pushed him.  

Baby: I pushed Teddy!

Me: Haha, well, at least you're honest about it.

The end of the trip
