Organizing

I've been wanting to organize things more in my house.  I went to Lowes and got some help to find a way to hang up clothes in my laundry room.  This worked out perfectly. Now the temporary rod is not in the way when we go to the garage.   There is now lots more room in there. :-D 

One year!

I can't believe it's been a year already.  You have so much caricature, and personality.  When music is on we can often find you bouncing to it, bending and straightening your legs.

You love carrying anything around the house. You will pick things up and carry it until you find something else you like. You like little people or items that are about the size of your hands and you will carry them for a while. Moms purse is a new favorite of yours. You love shoes and get a little upset that you're unable to  put them on yourself.  You will still shred toilette paper if you get your hands on it.  

Sometimes you are still cuddly but it make me sad when you want to be independent and push away. Like you will cuddle with me sitting on my lap, tummy against tummy laying your head on my chest but you don't like my arms around you. I will often wait till your more sleepy before I wrap my arms around you. Just so I can cuddle you more. 

Smarty pants

Aubree has been signing "more" and "all done" here and there.  She knows what the toilet is for just doesn't know how to tell me when she needs to go just yet.  She can go up and down the stairs all by herself.   Then today she finds a small hand towel and starts rubbing it on her tummy. So funny. 

We have a Walker

She has been walking for about the last two weeks. She makes about halfway across the room now before she goes back to a crawl.  

She loves stairs and can go up and down them by herself.  She still loves books and flipping through the pages.  

She also is great at using the potty.  She just doesn't know to tell me just yet.  So I sit her on it sometimes when I think she might go #2.  I gave her a book so she didn't get too squirmy. 

She has also been using her signs "more" and "all done" a little.  It's so cute.   She mostly does all done but the other day she did " more while on the couch asking for some food. :-D
