Busy Bee

Now that Adrianna has started crawling, the world is hers. She is crawling everywhere and keeping us on our toes. She especially likes to crawl towards things that are off-limits (like books, magazines, and the Christmas tree) or she likes to follow me. Such a cutie. I guess we need to child-proof our house now.

She has been saying mama for quite some time, though I am not still 100% sure if it is in reference to me. Sometimes it seems like it is; other times it seems like she is just babbling. Today she said dada and when her Grammy said, “Dada go bye-bye” Adrianna repeated, “ba-bye.”

Her Grammy asked Adrianna, “Where’s your bee?” Adrianna immediately turned and grabbed her little stuffed bee! What a little smartie! Her comprehension of words is totally increasing. She also recognizes when I ask her, “What does the doggie (or kitty, lion, etc) say?” She gets a grin on her face as she anticipates and knows that I will follow up that question with the animal noise.

She has been clapping her hands for a few weeks. She will now clap them when we clap our hands, tell her to clap her hands, or tell her to play patty-cake.

And oh, the kisses she gives! I don’t even have to ask anymore. Often times she will grab my face as if to pull it to hers, and give me the biggest, most slobbery kisses. I love her kisses. I love that she is such a cuddly and affectionate little baby.
