Did you know....

-My daughter's favorite toy is a cardboard box

-She would much rather suck on a lemon than candy

-She has a weird fascination with my elbow and must rub it any chance she gets, especially during diaper changes

-Her favorite part of bath time is after the water has drained out. She stretches out on her tummy and pushes herself back and forth...she also giggles at herself during this time

-When she gets excited, she stomps in place

-She has two chores; the first is putting her bath toys in her frog pod when she is ready to get out of the tub, the other is feeding the cat....which she wants to do ALL THE TIME, whether the cat has food already or not

-My weird daughter loves to take medicine, any kind. She will bring me the container and say "num", when I don't give it to her, she'll sign "please"

-Her favorite place in the house, is behind the recliner. She lays her head on our arms and when we tell her to get out from behind there, she says "hi-eeee" real sweet and leans in for a kiss....but doesn't move

-Nakiah doesn't like anybody else to hug her mommy. When other people hug each other she laughs, but when someone hugs me, she separates us and wants up in my arms to hug too

-One of the only things she does on command is marching. She takes a step with one leg and flings the other straight out in front of her, she's the best marcher I know

-She LOVES commercials way more than cartoons. She has a few favorites and when those come on, she signs "more" to me. I have to keep rewinding and playing the commercial until she forgets to ask for more, or moves on to something else -She HATES the vacuum cleaner and will cry when she sees it out, even before its turned on -So far, Nakiah really loves her books. She signs "story" to us all the time. Up to this point her favorite book is the phone book. She loves to fan the pages, it keeps her occupied longer than any of her toys

-Nakiah talks in her sleep

-When she thinks something is funny, she puts her hands over her mouth and laughs. If you laugh at her, she does this even more

-Before she ever "cooed" Nakiah would growl, she still growls when she is concentrating on something

-Again, my daughter's favorite toy is a cardboard box!!
