Diem is OBSESSED with her baby dolls! She loves holding them (all at once) while going about her day. She gets so excited when she sees one laying around. She yells "bay-BEEEE!" and has pure joy in her eyes. Some of the new things that she is saying are "Uppie" which I realized is actually "up please." and "jack-key" which is jacket. We often have turkeys passing through our backyard, so Diem loves to run to the window and say "tur-KEY!" I always thought she was being funny, when there wasn't really a turkey, but now I figured out that she thinks robins are called turkeys. We are in the thick of the "no" stage. She used to say it so sweetly "no-no", but now it is a sharp "NO!" with her chin on her shoulder. It is still adorable to us :)
Diem enjoys acting afraid. It cracks us up. Brennan is going through a stage where he pretends there are ghosts and monsters in the other room and Diem plays right along. She raises her eyebrows and gasps. (The outtake photos capture this. She was reacting to the thunder and lightening outside.) I love that she has such a sense of humor.
She is such a copy cat. Everything Brennan does, she does right with him. If he lays on the floor and acts like he's sleeping, you better believe that her little body will lay right next to him. If I itch my nose, she itches hers. Every weird noise Brennan makes, she imitates.
