Happy Dance

Selah has started saying a few words that we can actually understand. Her first word was "Hi" and she says it so well; "hi-ee"--it is adorable. A few days later she started saying, "baby" when looking for her baby doll. And, as of yesterday, she says "no no no" and shakes her arms vigorously back and forth when we are doing something she doesn't want to do. Everytime I read a book that shows an animal or person sleeping, I say, "shhhh...they're sleeping." Today, she put her finger to her mouth and said "sssss" right after I did it.

She also has taken to doing little dances pretty regularly. My favorite is the bathtime happy dance. She gets excited when we ask her if she's ready for a bath and runs to the bathroom and looks in the tub. As soon as the clothes come off, she does the happy dance. Of course, as any good dancer knows, she must move to the tile to be able to strut her stuff.

If you'll remember the footage of Uncle Don dancing at Stephanie's wedding in November---I think she may get some of her moves from him. Enjoy.
