I just don't want to forget...

all the adorable and hilarious things that our silly girl says and does. so please excuse all these wordy posts. feel free to skip over them until i get more pictures up  :)

* we went to HEB two days in a row and the next day we got in the car to go to the park and sierra said from the backseat (in a very excited voice) "H-E-D! H-E-D!". haha, poor girl...at least i took her to the park instead that time! *I started this post 2 weeks ago and since then, she hasn't been so excited about H-E-D. We pulled up the other day and she started shaking her head saying "no H-E-D, no H-E-D". But today she was playing in her car in the backyard and I asked her where she was going..."H-E-D!" she said. I guess it's a love-hate relationship  :)

* sierra has loved hiding for quite awhile. now she covers her eyes and thinks you can't see her. whenever she's hiding and i ask "where's Sierra?" she always responds with "hiding!" *it has since turned in to her response for anything I ask about. ex: "where are your shoes?" "hiding!"; "where did the bird go?" "hiding!"

* she is really practicing her verbs and opposites. she loves to open and close doors, while saying "open! close!" over and over. she also does "up! down!" with her head nodding or with animals. she just started now doing "in! out!" getting inside her cozy coupe car or the laundry basket. and she always says it with such excitement in her voice  :)

* she talks so much and fast that she often says the wrong person/thing a couple times in a row and then stops, thinks and says it correctly. you can just see it on her face, how quickly her little mind is working! example: (to Kyle) "all done, mommy all done, mommy....(pause) daddy all done, daddy all done."

* this morning when i went to get her out of her crib (she had been awake for a little while reading in bed), she just talked my ear off. she didn't want me to get her out yet, so i sat in the rocker and listened as she told me all about lots of animals. it was a very long conversation (more like story but she needs me to repeat back what she's said to show that i was listening and understand)! it went something like this...
S: "bunny, bunny, eating, bunny eating"
me: "the bunny is eating?"
S: "yeah! bunny, eye, ear, feet, tail, nose, mouth, bunny" (pointing to those things on herself)
S: "goat, goat, eating, food, hungy, goat, agua, mouth"

*she has started putting 3 and 4 words together to make sentences with nouns and verbs - mostly correct! her first few "sentences" have been: "no hitting baby" (i need to do a seperate post on that subject!), "no hitting mommy" (do we see a pattern?), "i see you daddy", "i see you mommy", "i ee you too" (i love you too)
