New habits

Doodle has developed a whole host of new, adorable habits as of late. Here's a sampling:

Grabbing your hand, telling you "Walk", and then dragging you to wherever it is she wants you to go.

Alternative to the above, motioning you towards her and saying, "C'mon!"

Laying down on a pillow and pretending to sleep complete with fake snoring.

Yelling "BABEEEE" when she wants someone's attention. (Because that's how she seems to refer to herself.)

Taking off her diaper....a lot. I think she's started doing it every time she pees if she's not wearing pants to keep her from it. At least she throws it in the garbage can, though.

When she knows she's about to get in trouble, stopping what she's doing and saying, "HI" while giving the cheesiest grin known to man. She's trying to be disarming and succeeds sometimes.

Unzipping zippers. (There goes that safety precaution to protect the contents of my purse and the diaper bag!)

Pointing and saying, "Teeth" when she wants to brush her teeth (which is anytime she sees her toothbrush)

Putting on any shoes she can find. She kept trying to put on a pair of boots that were about 4 sizes to small and Andy said she looked so pathetic every time that we bought her a pair of rain boots that actually fit her. She's so funny running around the living room in her diaper and yellow rain boots with a monkey's face on them!

Turning off the tv, putting her hands together and resting the side of her face on them, and saying "Nigh nigh" when she's tired.

And yesterday, she laid herself down on the couch with her head on a pillow, pulled the blanket up over herself, and went to sleep all by herself for a nap. I couldn't believe it when I checked on her. She was way too quiet so I became concerned. The kid who NEVER sleeps alone had tucked herself in. It was amazing! And it gives me hope that she will one day be able to sleep by herself. She has the skills, now we just have to work on her putting them to use more often.
