Mylee Likes Caramel!

The other day, I went upstairs to get some chores done, leaving Mylee in Blake's care. The only problem was that I assumed Blake would take care of her after noticing I had left. Well you can see what happened. Blake fell asleep and Mylee went to town! We bought these little containers of caramel to dip apples in for snacks and Kelsey had some for lunch, but apparently had left it too close to the table's edge. She got it EVERYWHERE. It could have been worse though. Blake said she came into the livingroom and woke him up saying, "ma ma, ma ma" (that's what she says when she is trying to tell you something). He opened his eyes and quickly jolted out of his chair and took her straight upstairs to the bathtub. Mylee thought it was great of course.

Since we are talking about Mylee, I wanted to jot a few more things down about her. I laugh my head off at her every day!! She's hilarious! EVERY TIME she hears some music she moves her little body to the beat and gets a beaming smile on her face. I'll have to get a video of it on here for you to see. She's also become quite good at saying thank you. She still loves peek-a-boo, but LOVES playing tickle the most. Usually she'll chase either Kelsey or Blake around and say, "Ticka ticka ticka". You have to hear it though, it's this high-pitched all-run-together sound. So cute! Mylee also loves taking care of the many babies (dolls) we have around the house. She'll find one and say, "baby, baby" then pat it on its back and say, "Shhh." Then she'll usually laugh, throw the doll and find something else to do.

Yesterday for dinner I made manicotti which is a huge hit at our house. My girls gobble it up, well usually! Mylee just was not interested. She wouldn't even taste it, very frustrating. But when I wouldn't offer it to her she would ask for it again, "ma ma, ma ma...." So then I would try again to feed her, but again she refused. Then I figured it out. She wanted to feed herself. I gave her the fork and put some food on her tray and she ate the whole thing!! When I gave her the fork she gave me a little giggle and got very excited. It's so fun to see more and more of her personality coming out.
