Bella-antics

Me: "What would you like for breakfast Bella? Oatmeal, apples, or a smoothie?"
Bella: "Money."

Whenever she spills something, she says "ooop-peees". Actually, she adds an "--ies" to everything she says. For example, she says "nursies" for nurse and "yessies" for yes, "puzzies" for puzzles, and "raizies" for raisins.

Instead of saying "no", she says "nope".

She's just recently become fixated on Mindy (Matt's sister) and her dog, Xena. She runs around the house saying "Minnyzeena" over and over with no space in between. "minnyzeeenaminnyzeeena".

She loves "dosh" (sauce). She's very into dipping things into any liquid and then eating only the sauce off and leaving the dipped food.

She hides when she poops. Well, not always. Yesterday she did a half headstand in the middle of the livingroom, and while she was sitting the upside down, I asked her what she was doing, and she said... "pooping". And she was.

She loves to "ellp" (help)...with everything. Sweeping, carrying things, loading and unloading the dishwasher...she's very servant-hearted. :)

She methodical. She likes to line things up in a row.

When we get to the church, she yells "happy!"...and then starts singing "holy holy merciful...". Well, it comes out as "hooooey hooooey meerrrrrceeeee".

At night, as a stalling tactic, she lists off all of the things she thinks will get her out of bed.

"Poooopy!?"
"Pee?!"
"Boppy?!" (rocker)
"Daddy?!"
"Eat?!"

...and with big tears in her eyes... "PIZZA??!"

The word "yes" is now pronounced with a strong "ssss" at the end. "Yesssss".

She loves to climb. Standing on the coffee table is super fun. Climbing up onto the arm of the couch and jumping off onto the pillows is even better.

She once saw me rip out a subscription card from a magazine, so now she goes through all of my magazines and rips out the subscription cards. She is VERY serious about it.

Well, I'm sure there are more, but that's all I can remember right now :) She just repeats everything we say and is really starting to be quite the conversationalist. She keeps us on our toes and has us laughing out loud everyday.

I love that she rips the subscription cards out of magazines. She is my kind of girl, that is the FIRST thing I do when I get a magazine.

Adding the "ies" to the end of words? That is so precious. I love this update on Bella. FUN!
