fabulous & for real

fabulous!
*listening to leni kate "roar" like a bear while putting her little hands by her face. it is the cutest thing!
*oh, really fabulous? we have been puke free since yesterday in the early, early morning. woo hoo!
*leni kate has mastered saying "no ma'am!" it is hilarious. especially since it sounds more like "no mmmmwaaaay!" and...she uses it in the correct context. thankfully, her "no mmmmwaaaays" have thus far only been addressed to sadie. i love that she is communicating more and more. sadie? i'm not so sure.

for real?
*leni kate has 3 lovies. 2 big ones and 1 little one. the little one was given as a gift when i was pregnant and when she was about 9 months old, we lost it for a month or two (thus, the two big ones--we couldn't find another little one anywhere so we bought the next best things. or so we thought). she didn't seem to mind that it was missing at the time. then, one day we randomly found little lovie in the storage container of our stroller. long story short. little lovie is now the only lovie this girl wants. she cuddles with it at night, and picks it out of her crib every morning to snuggle with while she eats breakfast. she very willingly leaves both big lovies "night-night" in her bed, and well, she could pretty much care less if they ever see the light of day. i think it is fabulous that she loves her little lovie so much. however, after having to take little lovie away from leni kate to wash it the other night, we have decided that we need a back-up. so, this little girl will have 4 lovies? yep. for real.
