Sportsmanship and Lil M Updates

GO USA!!!


Ok, now that's been said... our women's Gymnastics team RULES!!! :) Woohoo! Gold and Silver, babie!!!!!

I just read an article where a Swede won Bronze in Wrestling... only then to THROW IT ON THE FLOOR because he was upset at the outcome. OMG. Show some respect. I mean, seriously. These are the top athletes in the WORLD and this guy gets pissy over the outcome? OK, I get that he was upset about their judging. But save that for private. Not the podium.

'Nough said.

Anyway, I didn't actually stay up and watch the gymnastics last night, but hopefully, my DVD-R got it!! :) I've been taping parts of the Olympics for Lil M.

Oh, and last night, we had our FINAL adoption agency visit!!! It went well. The lady, Amy, was super nice. They all have been. Whew. That's all over. :) She asked how much Lil M weighs... looks like about 24.6 - 25 lbs (according to an online chart, she's still in the 40th percentile, where's she's been all along!). She's also approximately 31.5" tall now! WOW. She's gettin' so BIG! :) I need to get her 2 year Dr. appt scheduled. Let's see how accurate Mommy was at home! haha.

She can say:
Mommy
Mimi (for Aiyee mimi)
Chase
Scott (cot)
Dog Dog
Cat (dat)
Juice
Foot
Shoe
Butterfly (fuu-fly)
Outside (side)
Baby
Elmo (melmo)
Eye
Nose (noo)
No!
Yes (yeah)
More
Mine
Sit
Button (buu)
Book
Peekaboo (pee-boo)
Dada
Nine (pointed to the 9 on a book last night and said "Nine"!!)
Hello (lo!)
Hi
Weeeee
Moo
Bee
Eye (she pokes herself while saying this)
Bye
Ducky (duttie or duuh)
Fish (fii)

There's probably more... but that's 34 words... at least. :)
two 'two word' sentences so far... "More Juice" and "Where go?" (as in, where'd he/she go? - as she raises her hands as a question too! lol)

She also likes to mimic Mommy. She likes to put on her makeup (pretend, of course), comb her hair, and brush her teeth. She pretended to dry her hair with the hairdryer this morning, even! She can wipe her face and nose with a tissue. She can feed herself with a spoon or fork. She can walk, run, walk up stairs holding on to the railing... she likes to push/throw a ball, color with crayons and color on the back porch with chalk!

Peace.
