The Littlest Warrior: What's Lucy Up To These Days?

It feels like Lucy has grown up so much in the past few weeks! She's a busy little monkey who's constantly on the move and surprising us every day with new tricks.

She can say several words:

Ball (this includes anything that resembles a sphere)
Hi Kitty (her first two-word combination)
Mama and Mum
Dada
Baba
Elmo
Go
Quack (when she sees a duck)
Woo woo (when she sees a dog)
Moo (when she sees a cow)
Vroom vroom (for anything with wheels)
Uh-oh
Yay/Yeah

She understands even more words, including commands. She doles out kisses on request (more like bumping faces), and she loves to high-five. She waves "hi" and "bye." She nods her head "yes" and shakes he head "no." She can also point to her mouth, nose, and feet when we ask, "Where's your ___?"

Right now she's fascinated with putting things where they "belong." She really loves to transfer clothes back and forth between the chest of drawers and hamper. She also knows that keys go to the door and that cups are filled up at the water cooler. This has resulted in some interesting associations, such as my keys going into the compost bin and numerous pairs of socks going into the trash. The other day at Dolores Park, she took my sunglasses, walked over to the people sitting next to us, and put them in their backpack. She's not at all mischievous about it (at least, not yet). She's all business.

At the table, she's learning how to use a spoon and insists on having one every time she eats, whether or not she actually uses it.

Lucy has also mastered the art of throwing full-blown tantrums. In classic toddler fashion, she plants her face on the floor and kicks her arms and legs while screaming bloody murder.

Thanks to her dorky mom, she loves Jeopardy. I think she likes the pattern and predictability of it. She even claps for the daily doubles.

Here are a few random pics and a video from the past few weeks. Enjoy!
