Today I...

Brushed my teeth with Mommy. Well, Mommy helped me brush my teeth. Mommy put the brush near my mouth and I gave her a sassy smile and snapped, "No!" (This is my new favorite word, by the way.) Then later before bed, Daddy brushed my teeth again.

I am also now talking more in my own way. I went to my high chair when I was hungry. I say "pop-pop" when I want a popsicle and nod my head and smile when I am asked if I want a pickle. I feign being scared when Mommy and Daddy ask me if I want to "listen to birds" (the bird book we have that has pictures and plays the calls of the birds of the world). I pull on my towel or point to it when I want to get out of the tub. I know how to "step out" of my swimsuit and pants. I can undo my own diaper (Mommy doesn't care for this new skill all that much). I can run and giggle and sing and kick a beach ball. I love to swim and explore and sit down and read my books.

My Mommy says she can cry just thinking about how adorable and fleeting these moments are.
