Here at her newly-minted 21 month old status (today!), the most noticeable thing about her lately is that Lasa girl has found her voice. She is quite the chatty thing and she is quite assertive. If you don't respond, she will just repeat her chosen word ad nauseam and at higher and higher volumes until you do. HA!
Here is the latest translation guide for anyone who might be around her here lately ...

- he-yo - here, and she opens and closes her hand at you to follow
- She is terrified of pine cones. Backs away slowly every time she comes upon one.
- She hates the feeling of thong sandals; cries out Uh Oh! Uh Oh! (like she's been violated) and thrashes in floor to kick them off. Does not approve of the feeling of the thing between her toes.
- Her signature dance move is a prancey gallop between both feet, over and over again.
- She comes ALIVE when Daddy gets/is home.
- She is a master of the home key on any and every iPad and iPhone she can get her hands on.
- She always wants to be about what Bubba and YahYah are about.
- She loves to steal our seats when we get up from anywhere.
- She cannot stand it when Noah is near me, laying on me, touching me. Gets real territorial and only wants herself to be allowed near me in that way. It's absurd. And funny. And annoying.
- She has finally figured out how to play by herself for little spurts of time during our school day - usually in her dollhouse, her play kitchen, with the animals bin, or with crayons and coloring book.
- She LOVES her baby dolls. She has begun trying to dress them, feed them, soothe them, rock them in the cradle, and do their hair ... complete with putting them in the hair chair and pretend spraying water on their hair.
- She has the sassiest, most biting way of saying No. It's not nice at all. Kinda like nnnnnnnnnnnnnNO! with a bite at the end almost. So I have been having her repeat "No thank you" each time she says it. She's willing to play along. It comes out nnnnnnnnnnNO (with biting sass still). Keekoo (thank you)." 😂
- She doesn't have any one favorite book anymore. She loves them all. And she has a bunch!
- And finally, omigosh y'all, she is gonna make me have to literally get out my books about training and correcting a child's heart all over again. We are back at square one in this dept. And she is sort of a selfish little beast with friends around. So, like, it's go time. Again. How are we 21 months into this and I am stillllll just coming around to the fact that we are actually doing this parenting littles thing again?
Lasa, you are a TRIP. You are the cutest thing ever. And we love you to pieces.

It's still sinking in because you've really only had a YEAR with her when you've begun to realize that she will be yours! For a solid year you were only caring for her with full intentions of handing her back to her momma. And somehow it morphed into you keeping her permanently. I can totally see how it's still sinking in....PLUS> you've only really just begun the toddler/limits/discipline era of childhood, and that alone can be a shocker...again. ;)
Ahhhhhh, yeah you might be onto something! Makes sense now!
She is so cute! And, she looks like she is growing so much. That last picture in the carseat...she looks so long and so grown! You will have your hands full with her, but she looks like so much fun!
She does look long in that shot, doesn't she? She IS pretty tall for her age ... 78th percentile I wanna say? Which has amazed for awhile since she was a preemie.
