Josh is always saying that Maarii is the smart one..... Not that the boys are not smart cookies too, but Miss Maarii is just blowing me away with all the new things she is learning! This week she has started imitating sounds and basically talks with you. I was sneezing a lot and she started fake coughing every time I sneezed, so Noah has gone around the house fake coughing and she copies him as well. When I am changing diapers or getting the babies dressed I tell them to come here and make a come here motion by opening and closing my hand. Yesterday Maarii was upset and she started making that same hand motion at me because she wanted me to come and get her. Now she is doing it all the time and is imitating me when I do it also. I am going to have to start teaching them some basic sign language signs! Maarii loves story time before bed, her favorite story is the baby animal book where I make all the animal sounds. I sit them in a row facing me while I read and she sits there rocking back and forth a little bit and just cracks up at all the sounds! Her laugh is hilarious she does a little cackle and it is deeper than the boys.
She is pulling herself up and standing and also army crawling. She isn't quite as quick as the boys so she does get beat up on a little bit. I caught Gunner sitting on her back using her as a chair! He was very happy with the situation but she was very upset! I heard her screaming the other day and found her trapped under the toy box with the boys trying to sit on top of it. She will be tough and able to defend herself soon enough so the boys better watch out!
