Go baby, go!

Akyah's dad got her a beginner power wheels and Akyah absolutely loves it- "she's a natural" he said. I got a couple videos and will post the shorter one. The longer video is when she very first sat on it and this is how it went-

Dad: "Are you gonna drive?"
Akyah smiles and shakes her head yes
Dad: "Where are you gonna go?"
Akyah: "Why?" (so independent she is)

Then on her own she pushes the button and away she goes...

Akyah is doing very well and is just so darn smart. If I mention that she needs to be changed she runs down the hall to her room. Tammy, her daycare provider, told me today that after she told Akyah she needed a new diaper, Akyah immediately walked to where she gets changed and laid on the floor and waited for Tammy to come change her!!! Amazing ;o)

Hair clip, finally!

I was finally able to put Akyah's hair up in a little clip. It only lasted about 2 minutes because if you notice she has a comb in her hand and she combed it out. Yes, Akyah has good hygiene already - every time I brush my teeth, she insists on brushing hers as well and same goes with brushing her hair :o)

One little purple clip

Clip in hair, comb in hand = girly girl

Good conversation

I'm always up for a good conversation, especially with my beautiful daughter. This is how our conversation went as I pulled into the parking lot of the store this evening:

Mommy looks back at Akyah who smiles and says...
Akyah: "Baby" over and over pointing at herself
Mommy: "That's right honey, good job. You're so smart."
Akyah: "Thank you."
Mommy: "You're welcome" as I park the car then say "Are you ready to go into the store?"
Akyah shakes her head yes, smiles, and sticks her hands out ready to get out of the car seat.

She is just too cute!!!! ;o)
