Cheesy Robot

Neely's developing quite the sense of humor lately. She seems really grown up all of a sudden, the way she plays with her older brother and sister, and totally feels like one of the big kids. She also fights with them like one of the big kids. If she doesn't like something they do, she lets them KNOW it. Quite feisty. Same goes for Jess and me, too. Ha.


I don't know how, but we've struck gold yet again with her. She's so sweet and smart and hilarious. She's copying lots of stuff we say the last couple of weeks. Tonight she learned a couple new words. "Cheese", which she says while giving an appropriate smile, like this one:
The toy basket she has on her head is one of two we own, and Cason and Paige wear them around on their heads like this, pretending to be robots. They march around, saying "ROBOT, ROBOT, ROBOT" over and over, in a robotic voice, of course. Tonight Neely joined in, and wore her basket, marching in circles. Which brings us to the 2nd word she learned today, which is "robot". She marched with them, saying "Botbotbotbot" and sometimes "Wo-bot, wo-bot". Sometimes she'd trip and fall and her basket would go flying off of her head. Paige would pick it up and Neely would walk over and quietly hold still, waiting for Paige to put her robot head back on for her. The second Paige put it on she'd start chanting "botbotbotbot" again, and marching around the room.

I managed to get a (pitch black) video of her saying her new words.
