Mary Lindsey watches EVERYTHING these days! She is quite observant and listens (when she wants to) to EVERYTHING you say. She copies what I am doing a lot of times and also repeats what I say to her or anyone else for that matter. Yesterday morning was a perfect example of this as the above pictures show.
The kids and I did hung around the house yesterday morning and I cleaned. I had a lunch date planned with a friend of mine so around 11:00 I began running around the house to get everyone dressed and bags packed to run out the door. In the middle of the CRAZY process of getting out the door, I looked down at Bit Bit and realized she was doing everything I was doing. She heard me say I needed to get my bag and get Luke...she immediately went and got her purse and her baby and started waving "bye". She had already been carrying around her little cup all morning long, pretending to drink coffee with me. And you have to understand, she talks the entire time she is doing all this. Saying words like, "coffee, yum", "baby", "purse", "shoes", "mama go too". I think it is good she watches me be a mommy all day long. She has wonderful maternal instincts herself. For example, the other day I was nursing Luke on the couch. She crawled up next to me and pulled her shirt up and began to nurse her baby...how hilarious is that! I know, sorry guys probably too much information again, but I thought #1 how funny, and #2 she really is smart. She just looked at me a smiled like "my baby is hungry too." However, this was not quite as funny to me as the time she tried to attach my breast pump to her chest and "pump" herself. I guess she does see a bit too much reality around here.
Well, my sweet babies are both sleeping and I plan on joining them. Good night!
