Missy finally said "Ma-ma" intentionally this morning. We thought we heard it last night, but I wasn't sure she was directing it at me. This morning while Daddy had the babies downstairs and was letting me get some extra sleep, I distinctly heard Missy at the gate at the bottom of the stairs call for me. It was cute enough to get my sleep-deprived butt out of bed to greet her.
Speaking of cute things that she does... she refuses to wear a bib. She's figured out how to remove both the Velcro version and the over-the-head ones. If I manage to get one on nice and snugly so that she has a hard time getting it off, she'll struggle with it until it's bound around her eyes and then yells. That makes me take it off her, so she's really figured out how to get any version of a bib off. *sigh*
Missy is also walking up a storm. She's finally crossed over into walking the majority of the time instead of crawling. She'll revert every once in a while if she wants to go somewhere really fast or if she's wearing her pjs which make her feet a little slippery on the hardwood floors. She enjoys walking up behind J Frog and giving him a friendly slap on the head. We're currently reviewing the words "gentle" and "no no NO!" She actually reacts with tears to a firm "no," and Daddy and I aren't quite sure what to do since LR could have cared less. It's been a long time since a child has respected us. We're not sure what to do with all this power now.
So, the last picture in this post is of Missy trying to take her shirt off at the table because she thinks it's a bib. Luckily, it was a stretchy shirt, but it took her a little while to give up. I got a couple of cute pictures in the meantime.
