No way

Reagan has quite a vocabulary. I am definitely biased, but I think she is so smart. She is really starting to comprehend things I am saying, and it is so exciting! When I ask her if she wants to take a bath, she crawls to the bathroom, stands up at the tub and points to the faucet. Wehn I ask her if she wants a diaper change, she either says "By-doh" (diaper) or "poo poo" which is pretty self-explanitory. I am just realizing that I "ask" her if she wants to do a lot of these things, but the poor girl doesn't really have a choice. Maybe I just like her to feel like she is making an informed decision? She says "I lah la" (I love you) when I tell her I love her every morning, and gives me a great big hug. I live for those moments! Although she says a lot of sweet things, her favorite things to say are a little more naughty. She likes to say "no way" and "go away" all day long, and shakes her head no to pretty much everything I say. This little girl went from being the most calm, quiet, easy-going baby to one with an incredible amount of spunk and feistiness. She has SUCH a strong personality and acts more and more like Jason every day, always trying to make everyone laugh. She is one hilarious little girl full of an incredible amount of energy for such a little thing. She exhausts me, but the love I have for her is incomprehensible. Today, she was acting so funny. I am so mad I didn't catch it on video, but Jason was feeding her dinner, and he held the spoon up to her mouth and she just shook her head no. So he stops for a minute and tries again. She proceeded to then tell him "no way." We were cracking up which I am sure just reinforced her behavior, but it was too funny not to laugh. Here is a little video I took of her this morning saying "no way" and "I love you." I might be the only one able to understand it, but I am so proud to be her mama!
