Mallory's Extra Curricular Activities

Mallory is changing every day. She looks more and more like Madison all the time. She is a happy girl until she doesn't get what she wants. I think that's a great way to describe all of the girls in this house. She has started giving hugs sporadically throughout the day to everyone in the house. She'll just run up to you, wrap her arms around you and bury her head in your legs. It is so adorable. She has really taken to a teddy bear blanket that the Ackleys gave her when she was born. She has to have it before she will go to sleep. His name is Mikey. She still loves her pacie. We try to only let her have it in the car or when she sleeps. Hopefully we will have her broken of it by the summer. Her favorite toy right now is her stacking blocks. She loves to stack them up and knock them down. It surprises us how long she will work on them. She also loves filling things up like her shape sorter. She has taken up singing. Duane and I sit in the living room and listen to her sing in her crib for a while after we put her to bed. Her father taught her how to climb up the ladder and slide down the slide on their swing set. If it were up to me, I would have held off on that lesson for a while:) She wants to eat with a fork now. She has gotten pretty good at it. She loves to run and is working very hard on figuring out how to jump. She's very close. We really have to be on our toes because she loves to jump off of things into our arms with little or no warning. Her vocabulary is constantly growing. Here are all the things she can say. mama, dada, papap, Sara, Molly, Maddie, no, yes, dog, bird, sock, shoe, up, get down, knock knock, mine, big girl, please, thank you, drink, milk, snack, ouch, hurt, woof, meow, tweet, ball, outside, why, more, night night, what's that, nose, teeth, eyes, car, beep. I'm sure there are a few more I'm forgetting. She is a girl on the go. I really love the stage she is in. They learn so much so quickly. This is such a great way to document our kids lives!
