MJ update

MJ really, really wants to talk and communicate. It's fun watching her learn how to say new things and for us to understand her. Some of her favorite new words lately are:
- breakfast (sounds more like bepfist)
- lunch
- snack (sounds like nack)
- cookie
- bar (for granola bar)

If you can't tell from this list, she loves food! She usually wakes up starving and usually she is dying of hunger while I'm making dinner so she hangs out in the kitchen looking for handouts. Sometimes she will climb into her chair before dinner is ready and start screaming for something to eat.

She gets into everything and leaves messes everywhere she goes! Just today I caught her lifting up the toilet seat cover so she could dunk a toy in it and then she would close the toilet and run around the house with the wet toy... She also loves to draw so be careful leaving any kind of writing or drawing utensil out because she will draw on just about anything - books, papers, walls, dressers, doors...

Her other favorite word is "movie". She will bring me the remote for the T.V. and then say "movie" hoping that I will turn a kid show on for her. She loves watching "Super Why" and loves to dance to the music in it.

She is also very fascinated in the hats that I wear and sometimes likes to put some on herself and then walk around tapping it and saying "hat".
