Mackenzy has become a comedian over the past few weeks and has picked up on new phrases which I'm pretty sure she learned from me... She says "booger" when I show her a q-tip... She will say "no, no" as she is doing something she's not supposed to do. She tells people to "stop" or "stop that" and will tap their hands as she says it. She will throw items on the floor, look at the item, look at me, and then say "uh oh". She will sometimes say her nickname "Kenzy". She calls Dora the Explorer "Digo" and requests to read her "Digo" book almost every night. She now signs and says "eat (eee)", "more", and "cracker (cwack-or)" independently and will say/sign "Thank you (tank oooo)" and "please (pees)" with cues. She's started to tell us when she has gone poo poo and will sometimes bring us a new diaper, and she is starting to associate animal sounds with the animal (ex. dog goes woof woof, cow goes moo, duck say quack quack, and cat says meow). She's SUPER smart! Just like her mommy! :)
She LOVES to scribble and will write on anything she can find. She's already decorated our couch... She also loves to eat crayons...
As you know, she has been going to The Little Gym since last summer and I think it's been amazing for her. She gets to run around and play with kids for a whole 45 minutes which is great for her and then she takes a 2 hour nap which is great for us! She is now giving high fives to Ms. Ellen, her teacher, and she loves to talk to her favorite friends in class, Miles and Katherine. Like the genius that she is, she is generalizing the skills she learns in class to other places, and is starting to climb. She climbs on everything. The dishwasher, her stroller, my plastic bin... She definitely got that one from me because I was a climber!
Her best trick of all is her Cousin It imitation! She likes to put towels on her head and run around (supervised of course). This is how she entertained herself at our church Christmas dinner for a whole 15 minutes. She also loves a crowd so if she notices people watching her she'll keep going!
