Seoul the Bounty Hunter

Seoul is becoming SO FUN these days! Not that she wasn't before but we've entered a whole new phase of development & learning. It's just amazing to see what new things she does daily.

Her newest achievements are walking and going potty. Really.

Walking - She can go up to 10 steps if we start her free standing.
[I was going to attempt to post a video but now I don't know where the video cord is. Boo!]

Potty - she goes once or twice a day in the potty. Honest!
[She loves sitting on her potty - it plays a song when she pees! The second night we had it she used it. Since then it's been almost daily - she does the sign and then we go to the bathroom. Any suggestions for actually potty training are welcome since I haven't researched it yet!]

Starting young... she likes to lounge on my body pillow and hold the phone to ear and pretend to talk. She has actually made calls on our house phone. Oops!

She loves the alphabet mat. We're learning to match her alphabet letter books to the letter blocks.

Learning to play baseball at an early age :)

Her words:
daddy
papa
mommy
baby
ball
cracker
bye
hi
yogurt (gogurt)
go (in terms of leaving the house)
uh-oh
boppy (referring to nursing time)

Already she loves to be up high and she LOVES spending time with daddy after work.

She shut herself in the bathroom the other day. Peek a boo!

Her princess tent keeps her entertained for long stretches of time.

Her signs:
please
thank you
more
banana
doggy (baby sign version)
potty
all done
help (newest one)

Happy Valentine's Day - cute dress, yes? She is wondering why we were wasting time taking photos instead of letting her have her presents.

The remote is hers when we're in the living room. No arguments.

She still loves her food... this would be bits of cottage cheese all over her face. She can feed herself with a spoon when she wants to.

She knows:
* animal sounds/motions (elephant motion, 'sss' for snake, 'quack quack' for duck, 'moo' for cow, fish lips)
* how to brush her hair & that barrettes go in her hair
* shoes and socks go on her feet (and imitates saying 'socks')
* how to fold her arms for prayers
* what pictures are in her alphabet letter books (For example she finds the 'H' book and knows the order: hands, hat, horse. So before we can even open the book she shakes her hands. Then she touches her head for hat. For horse she can't do the sound so she nods her head yes for some reason.)


She's discovered cupboards and drawers.

She discovered lemons in a restaurant and sucked every last bit of juice out of it.

Cute Seoul moments:
* She wanted yogurt and I wasn't going to give her any (I'm not a mean mom, it was close to dinner!). So she rifled through her alphabet letter books and found the 'Y' book, turned to the page that had the picture of yogurt, and handed it to me while signing please and saying yogurt. Really! How could I resist? She got her yogurt :)
* Dad sings a song he made up - Seoul the Bounty Hunter - and Seoul then pulls on her ears like he taught her. It's one of her and daddy's special songs.
