Our Little Geekling

So I don’t forget, here are some things about Eriana that make me smile lately:

-She’ll crawl up and lean in with her chin up and eyes closed for a kiss.

-She says “UP” when you lift her up, and giggles.

-When she says “uh-oh”, it sounds like “uh-ah-ah” and I love it.

-She will dance to any sort of beat. The busy signal on the phone (or phone off the hook beep), any song, etc. If she is screaming and a song comes on she’ll look at you and dance.

-If she hears clapping or applause or someone says, “Yay!” she will start clapping.

-She waves, more often than not, with both hands.

-She points to EVERYTHING. Mostly it’s for stuff that looks like her favorite foods (i.e. anything purple she points to because she wants some multi-grain cheerios (which are in a purple box), anything yellow she points to is because baby mum-mum boxes are yellow).

-She says, “Hi!” and waves to the kids who dance on Yo Gabba Gabba between segments.

-If she’s in the right mood, she’ll try to catch a stranger’s eye and wave to them.

-She is still stubborn as all get-out, and hardly ever talks or waves or anything for others. She has to want to.

-She will throw ALL of her snack or meal on the floor and then come to us to steal food. Stinker.

-When she’s starting to get tired she’ll cruise over to where someone is sitting on the couch and lay her head down (even if it’s a dog).

-She giggles and talks to our pets, usually opening with “Hi, Dog” or “Hi, Cat” and then babbling away while patting them furiously.

-When she gets excited she clings to whomever has her and hugs.

-When she gets tired she puts both hands behind her head, or if she’s on her stomach or facing the person snuggling her she puts them both under her belly to snuggle in.

This is all I can think of now. She’s so cute. I love this kid.
