newly acquired manners

recently, lucy neal has started using very good manners in everyday dialogue. it's so cute!

all none peasth! (all done please)
nack peasth! (snack please)
baby peasth, nalm peasth! (baby please, immediately followed by lamb please..kyle says we should sew them together)

anything she asks for she says please and once given to her immediately says "thank you" it's the sweetest thing ever! also, everynight when we take off her socks and every morning when we take off her pj's she exclaims "hey toes!" same for when we cover them up, "bye bye toes!" she's learned how to ask to watch one of her dvd's..."moobie?" or "bb" (tv) she's also learned how to give great kisses.

she know 2 colors, purple and yellow and says them both very clearly and appropriately when pointing to something purple or yellow. she can say other colors, but doesn't know what they are. she can count to 3 (mostly helps me when i am counting for her to come here)

but the latest, most precious words that i have been waiting to hear since she starting talking are....are you ready...


I WUVU! (I LOVE YOU!!!!!)

Hawaiian Halloween

Well, as holidays go for this little hula girl, Halloween is her fav so far. She has been obsessed with all of the decorations...skulls, pumpkins you name it. Our Kroger had a wonderful display of "haween" in the middle of the store, so everytime we went we had to spend at least 10 minutes in that aisle. She was hilarious...growling at all of the decorations and loving on some (mostly skulls). She wasn't hardly scared of any of them. We took her to the farmer's market near our house and let her pick out her very own "pump pump". What a treat! We also had these two decorative pumpkins on the floor in front of the fireplace that she had a fine time playing with...I can only imagine what christmas will be like! Oh so speaking of christmas, the week after halloween (early i know, right?) they were doing christmas pics at her school. With a professional photographer. So I got her all decked out in a beautiful dress, she looked about as angelic as they get (everyone said so, it's not just me). What a perfect opportunity for a picture right? Would have look great in a frame for christmas and then in the baby book. Well so we get in line and she sees Santa Claus through the door and starts pointing at him. Keep in mind she hasn't been introduced to him yet. So me, trying to think of a way that she could relate to how much fun he is, said "look there's santa claus..he's kind of like halloween!" Meaning he's SUPER FUN just like halloween. Her response?...she growled at him. Hilarious. So after begging to go see him, it was finally our turn. We went in, Santa was talking her, let her "pet" his furry costume which i compared to the kitty kat so she wouldn't be scared, all that jazz. She handled all of that great. So I say, "Do you want to sit with him?" and she very matter of factly shook her head and said..."NO". And that was that. So I was told a few minutes later her teacher (whom I LOVE) tried the same thing, with the exact same response. Oh well, no pic with Santa Claus. Maybe later in the season after she gets to know him a little better.
