13 month update

Oh man, the motivation to blog and update is so low now.  I'm trying to take at least one photo a day with my iphone and even that is getting hard.  I am so not good at this photo-taking business.  Here are a few random tidbits:

  • When she watches "TV" (signing time videos on my laptop) she keeps looking behind the laptop to see where all the "people" are.
  • My mom taught her how to pray before eating.  So now, whenever we say "Amen" she immediately signs for "eat".  She also folds her hands and says "men".
  • She is in loooooove with pasta with tomato sauce.  I can have 10 different foods on her tray and she will always eat the pasta first.
  • She is not a fan of vegetables and will only eat them if they are pureed with sweet things like corn.
  • When Bry was out of town this weekend, she woke up Saturday morning, looked around in a confused state, and kept saying, "Dada".  On Saturday night, I could hear her talking in her sleep, saying "Dada" over and over again.  Bryant died when I told him.
  • She is not tantrum-ing and is still overall a very mild-mannered and happy kid.
  • She loves to share.  However, there were a few instances when another kid stole her toy away from her and instead of crying or whining like most kids do, she screamed at them.
  • She loves to climb on everything and then stand on them much to the dismay of her parents.  We have to vigilantly watch her every move now.
  • She is generally pretty fearless and daring.
  • She still screams every night when we put her to bed, despite Bryant or myself sitting right by her crib.  
  • She is imitating many words and sounds now.  It's hard to know what she really knows versus what she is just repeating.
  • She made up her own sign.  When she wants to be picked up, she pats her right cheek. 
  • I taught her how to fake smile.  I say "smile!" and then she gives me the cheeiest, fakest grin and goes "heeeee."  Her smile is a little crooked.  Love it.
  • When I go to the bathroom, she says "pee pee!"
  • She likes to lift up her shirt and point/pat her huge belly and say "beh" (belly in Korean)
