Chatterbox

Little miss is starting to talk a lot more every day. She picks up words super fast (and as I type that, I hear the Little Einsteins in my head saying "Super fast!!!") Sometimes after I repeat them to her once, maybe twice. She's learned purple, yellow, Olivia (although she'll say "O libliba") - yesterday she said "pea" because she was eating peas and kept holding them up and looking at me. So I told her "Pea" and after she held a few more up to me she repeated it back. That's one thing that has become a little more challenging - she's starting to get a little more picky about what she eats, and tends to prefer things that are familiar rather than trying new things. I thought we had it made, she's usually a really fantastic eater, but lately she picks at things more often than not. Unless it's mac and cheese, or fruit, or cookies, or apparently peas. Some nights she'll just throw stuff off her tray, and I know it's naughty but she's so enthusiastic about it that I have to turn away as I bust out laughing. Same thing when she splashes me with water in the tub. She has a little cup that she'll fill with water, she'll turn and give me a smirk, and then she full on throws the water right in my face. Then she laughs her head off. I'm trying really hard to teach her it's naughty and that if she does it a second time bath is over, but sometimes I can't help but laugh. I have to work on my poker face I guess.
