Susie’s vocabulary has exploded this past month; she’s still not stringing words together, but she imitates everything we say, and I can’t even list all her words anymore. Grandma and Grandpa Muller are here this week, and they noticed right away how she copies everything her big sister does! She loves to dance, to color with the big kids, to help Mommy unload the dishwasher, and to dust. Her hair is so unruly that she really needs something in it all the time, but she says “Ow” as soon as I approach her with the comb. She is scared of loud noises like the vacuum and the blender. She’s gotten a bit more clingy of late, crying every week when I drop her off in the church nursery. If she’s not playing with the big kids, she wants to be held by Mommy. Sigh.
Ian Michael is in a clingy phase as well. He was completely freaked out at his 18 mo check up with our pediatrician. It was a little ridiculous. I couldn’t even hear the Dr speak over his wailing! Suzie looks like such a fiesty little gal! I love her dimple!!!
