Some girly-girl updates. Hope's vocabulary is starting to emerge, which is a lot of fun. She loves to name the members of her family. Da-Da, Mommy, Dee-cee (Gracie), and MeeMee (Hope). When asked to actually say Hope, she nods as if to say, "um, Mom, I already did that" and proudly hits her chest and says MeeMee. I say, "No baby, say Hope." "MeeMee" So, there ya have it - Brent, Michelle, Gracie & MeeMee. So cute.
Next episode - Hope is becoming more feisty which is good. When Grace tries to control her or push her toward a certain activity, Hope objects strongly by biting Gracie, usually on the arm. Now, it's a pretty hefty bite, it leaves a mark, and Gracie definitely reacts - perhaps a tad dramatically. (She's my Drama Queen). So, I take Hope away, give her a little swat (because she just laughs at my stern No), and put her in "time-out." She cries big alligator tears - I console Grace and suggest that she come get me instead of trying to "teach" Hope something. I walk back out to chat with Hope who gives me the sign for all done. "Mama, all done." "Yes, sweetie, but no biting." She shakes her head and agrees with me, until the next time. Aaaaah, sisters :>)
