Our Little Chatterbox :)

Leighton has been doing so much fun stuff lately and although I'm super busy(totally worked 12 hours today!), I just want to write it down somewhere until I have time to catalog in her baby book. She is growing up so fast and I just feel so lucky to be her Momma, I love her so much!

My little girl is so smart :) She folds her arms when we say prayers and has started standing without holding onto the furniture, she upgraded to big girl sippy cups and loves "Buzz and Woody." She likes her big girl books more than any of her toys and is starting to point to things on the pages when I ask her, like babies or Woody. She kisses her baby dolls and pats their back when she hugs them. She sleeps 12 hours a night and has been napping like a champ (usually saving my sanity when the house isn't clean). She claps and high-fives and 'bumps it!' She can now show you where her nose, mouth, tongue, ears, and belly-button are. She is just developing such an awesome little personality and I love to watch her in action!

She has really widened her vocabulary the past month or so and can say almost anything I ask her to say, but here are the words she says when she recognizes things or when I ask her a question:

Mommy

Daddy

Baby

Wowwww!

Buddy

Addi

Abby

(Her own version of) Thank you

Tut-dow(Touch-down, with her arms straight over her head like the referee... do we watch enough football? GO COCKS!)

...And still one of my all-time fave's: "mah-num mah-num"...her own made up word for yum-yum when she's ready to eat!
