so about a month ago... lia, robbie and myself went to outback for a date and lia was a nightmare... lets just put it that way. anyways.. we lost lia's binky that night and since that was the only binky she likes, she had to quit it cold turkey!! i'm so proud of her. not having her binky now for i think just over a month. i have to say, not having to hunt around for that one binky all day long, is so nice!!

i strongly believe my child is a genious. yes.. this is my time for bragging. sorry if you don't approve! :) she does things that i don't ever see anyone her age doing. she will study everything you do and she can copy it completely. for example, she has watched me putting vhs tapes in the vcr (old school, i know) and today, she put one of her books in there perfectly, like you would the tapes. thank god it's not broken!! she can kick a ball around.. her new favorite activity, by far! her dresser has a knob that doesn't stay on very well and lia pulls it off all the time but she will almost always put it right back on. she can can say so many words..

momma

dada

no

yay

bye

yeah

uh oh

just to name some.. there are more but i can't think of them right now.

she is the cutest little walker alive. she doesn't do it full time yet but we're getting there. she mostly does it when she's not pushed... stubborn... she does it when she feels like it. hahaha not a surprise.

lia is doing really great with the tree. she doesn't really mess with it as much as i thought she would. she likes to crawl under it and touch it, but sometimes she will sit with her back to it and scratch her head. she is such a wierdo!!!

can i just say that right now, she makes me die of laughter. i do dumb things, all the time. i'm clumsy.. everyone knows this. anyways, lia will bust out laughing. of course i'll do whatever i did to make her laugh, over and over and over again. robbie has a video of one of these times.. i'll have to get it from him and post it. seriously.. it's amazing. i love hearing her laugh. another favorite is when she will wave byebye and blows kisses. i die every time.

lia is such a daddy's girl. i've said this a few times. when she doesn't see him all day, she will just cuddle with him forever! especially in the mornings!! i love seeing them together!
