More on the Beanie.

A) I need to update her lilypie tracker. She's en route for two!!

B) I need to buy her either this little kitchen cutie


Or

this one.


They are both killing me with their adorableness. Just shows you that I'm a real mom. I'm going to take half of my bday money and invest it in heritage toys for The Bean. They both say "3 years" and older, but my kid is waaaaay into the recyclables and the cabinets. She pulls out pots and pans and really loves pulling every ziploc sandwich bag OUT of it's little convenient box.

PF recently finished our balcony security mesh and the cabinet doors are all rigged against toddlers. You know she's frustrated with the nonopening doors because she has now started screaming her anger when thwarted.

The other new Bean action is that she has started shutting doors and locking herself in. I keep thinking she's slammed her fingers what with all the horror and pain you hear once that door slams shut. But usually? She's just upset she's blocked her own egress.

She's walking really well for having only started REALLY toddling about 2 weeks before her 1st bday. She will look like she's about to fall over, and reach out and steady herself like she's standing in a boat, and them off she goes again, righted.

She also woke up this morning, pointed hard and yelled "CAT!" at Wingnut. He got wide eyes and jumped off the bed flummoxed. Then she found my nunu, settled back down and promptly fell back to sleep satisfied with her little self.
