All Things Supercinski

Our sweet girl is growing so fast. She is very social and talking up a storm these days. I attempted to catalog all of her words the other day, but I gave up, there were too many. Some of her funniest words involve emotions. Every so often, she will scream out “Appy!!!! Appy!!!!” and squeal. She knows happy. She also learned “scared” well this month. When Daddy gets home, they play a variation of hide-and-go-seek that is more like Daddy-go-hide-and-jump-out-and-scare-the-kids-to-death. Now, Annalise lets me know when she is “scared” (with a ‘w’ instead of an ‘r’) often. Things that scare Annalise are dogs, cats, garbage trucks, loud trucks going down our street, the heater turning on, and dogs again. It is precious that when she hears these things, she yells, “Scawed!” and comes and runs into my arms. She also learned “shy” and will say it while pretending to hide her head when strangers talk to her… sometimes. She loves attention, so it seems she is just practicing her emotions.

Some of her favorite things continue to be digging in dirt or sand, swinging, playing outside, coloring, reading books, dressing up, Baby Love, babies, other kids, tea parties, Josiah, Mommy and Daddy. She carries Baby Love (“Baby La”) everywhere she goes. It is the first thing she asks for when she wakes up and the last thing she puts down before bed.

She and Josiah have been playing together more and more. I love this picture, though the quality is horrible–I took it from the kitchen across the living room. Josiah was reading books to her one night while I got dinner ready. They read several books together and laughed and talked. When Josiah is upset, Annalise is the first one to give him a hug, pat his back say, “Sowwy… okay…. awww…”

She has also mastered taking off her shirts (no matter if they are snapped on the bottom) and socks. Thankfully, the pants and diaper tend to stay in place! She is very interested in all things potty and tells me if she is dirty and sometimes if she is peeing. I’m not ready to start potty training, nor do I think that she is, but it’s nice that she is showing interest.

She loved getting a flower from Daddy one day. Now, if she sees a flower, she says her word for flower and “tank too Daddy.”
