Firsts...

*Annie ate her first piece of corn on the cob yesterday. I have cut the kernels off a fresh piece before but she REALLY wanted to eat like Mommy so I gave her a small piece. She LOVED it.
*Annie spills her water from her cup quite a bit and I showed her the cloth to clean it up yesterday. When I asked her to bring it to me, she did. So tonight, I had her soup cooling on the counter and Shawn knocked it over onto the floor - chicken, noodles, vegis, tofu and broth everywhere. Annie went and found the cloth to help clean it up!!!
*Yesterday I asked Annie if she wanted to go "out" or stay "home". She said "ome" and we stayed home for the day.
*We use a blue cup to rinse Annie's hair when we are washing it. Tonight she put on a pout, took it out of Shawn's hand and threw it into the water!!! This child needs her hair at least rinsed every night as she has food in it constantly!!!
*Annie has two "baby dolls" one is hard plastic and one is a cabb.age patch of mine. These "babies" go everywhere and must eat with us. The funny thing is that Annie only remembers half way through her meal. We then go get baby, pretend to feed baby (Annie makes the slurping sound) and then the spoonful goes into Annie's mouth. It is very cute!!
* Shawn really snores loudly and Annie has noticed from day one that he makes alot of noise when he sleeps. So now when I ask if it is time to sleep, she makes a snoring sound!!!!!
*Annie will climb anything. She is not however, fearless. She works at it and does get scared but she gets herself out of whatever she gets into with our encouragement. She has a butterbox beside the couch so she can get on and off of the couch on her own.
* Annie is eating with a fork and she is eating out of a bowl or plate on her chair tray. At the end of the meal the bowl or plate is turned upside down and she hands me the empty plate with her fork/spoon on top. Annie then proceeds to finish eating her food from her tray!!! We are getting there!! She also loves to dip and her favorite sauce these days is honey mustard. It is adorable to watch.
* Annie's favorite word these days is "Uh-oh". It is so much better than "no". She uses it perfectly too.

There are so many other little things that happen every day. I am trying to capture them all so that I can write her story for her...
