~Grins & Horses~

Melynn turned 13mths old on March 19th so soon after just turning a year old! I say it almost every post but my baby girl is growing up so quick & she amazes us everyday. She is learning her sign language so well now being able to sign: eat, milk, please, & thank you. We're still working on more but she's a smart cookie so I know she'll learn so quick. She points at books & deer & tries to say both with usually only one syllable coming out. She's into everything & loves to be the center of attention & has such a temper probably getting that from me but at times it is so hilliarious. Her toothy grin makes me melt everytime & she knows it & uses it to her advantage. Next weekend our Easter Festivities begin & I'll post our little Sweet Peas in her beautiful easter dress. Love to you all.

Stats

Melynn vistited the doctor a while back & is growing like a weed! She weighs in at 21.9lbs & is between 31 & 32 inches tall! This is a long way from our little 6.5lbs one year ago! She is trying to talk & learn sign language. She's got the sign for milk down & has her own version of more. I think she sometimes says Thank you but its very similiar to blowing kisses so the jury is still out on that one.  In the language category we of course have "Da-da", "Momma" ( doesn't know who I am but can say it. Not to mention I think she calls her paci.."Momma". Awesome) There is "Uh-Oh", and shes trying to say "Milk", but its more of a "Mil"
She sprints all over the place & has seemed to develop some sort of go-go gadget baby arm thing where she can reach everything! Its crazy! She has no concept of "NO" so we're having fun with that & avoiding light sockets. Also the best part is that she is dancing! The music starts playing & her little booty starts a bopping! It is so cute. We laughed so hard the first time she did it!
Another funny thing about Melynn is that she is I guess afraid of grass......at least afraid to walk on it. She'll sit down in it & play with it...but will not walk in it. We put her down "standing up" & she freezes. Just stands there and doesn't budge an inch. She'll either stand there & cry or sit down & play with the grass. This one she's clearly ok I'll take some more & show you soon!.
