Smarty!

Franki is such a little sponge lately. She is witty, loveable, smart and a whole bunch of other things. She loved to immitate things we are doing, I mean anything, she helps fold laundry, she cleans her ears when we clean ours, she wipes the floor when I wipe the counter, she is a walking mini version of us. It is really quite entertaining to watch. Everything she imitates she learns, so i can now take the laundry out and she grabs the clothes before I do and starts to do what I have done before. She sees a Q tip and she immediately puts it to her ear. She can now identify her ears, nose, hands, feet, and belly. She can immitate the cow sound: moooo. She has very in detail conversations with us. You definitely cant understnad her but it is quite entertaining to listen to and you definitely can tell she knows what she is saying and really wants to tell you. She uses all different types of inflections in her voice. She can say keys (seese), up, dog, hello (eeeelllooo always very loudly), and we believe she has several other words we just havent figured out exactly what it is yet, until we hear it in perfect context a lot of the words at this point are just a word at that. She likes watching some television now. Usually she can sit through about 15 minutes a day of a show. So for now she watches either baby einstein, big music show, or mickey mouse clubhouse. She usually has to be a little tired in order to sit through any of these shows. She is so busy most of the day she could care less about tv. Books are another story. On average we read 30 times a day to her. If she sees a book or there is one around you will read it over and over and over again. If you read her a book she doesnt like shell get up and find one that she does like. Im telling you this girl knows what she wants. She sits in your lap and can read forever, I love seeing that smart side of her and how much patience she has to sit and read. In other news Spetember has been reserved for quiet family time. We had such a busy summer that its nice to enjoy time together to just relax and enjoy one another's company. We have had a couple of great weekends already filling our time with outside play, football on television and just enjoying the crisp air coming through the windows with some good ole snuggly time. Franki and I are now back in swim lessons, more this weekend on that. We may even have some video coverage of baby girl in the pool! Enjoy the much needed cooler breeze and snuggly baby close to my chest weather!
