She is talking so much more.  (Still not the chatterbox that McCanless was at this age, but she says exactly what she needs to say.  Nothing more, nothing less.)  When she does speak, she sounds like a little girl, not a baby.  Each word is so precisely and correctly spoken, especially, &#8220;Yea.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">She is still an early bird, and by this I mean, she wakes up at 7 am READY TO GO.  She hits the ground running.  (She is a lot like me in this aspect!)  She&#8217;ll often go straight to the playroom and grab her baby doll and stroller and take circles around the house until everyone is stirring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">She continues to love dressing up with her big sister, and has recently learned to remove her diaper.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">She has been sleeping through the night for a couple of months now!!  She loves to go &#8220;night-night&#8221; in her crib with her babies and her bottle and paci.  She will point to her crib saying, &#8220;Night-Night.&#8221;   She loves music and will point to the radio in the car until she hears music.  (Again, pointing is her favored form of communication, and of course, we all jump when she points.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">She continues to love reading and will grab an armful of books, pull or push on our legs until we sit, then she will plop down in our laps and say, &#8220;Read.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">She can be very serious at times and so determined.  She looses her temper very easily and hits.  (I&#8217;m attributing this to her age right now.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;NO&#8221; is one of her favorite words, rather, &#8220;NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">She is such a loving, trusting and friendly child.  Just today, she grabbed the arm of an older lady in the grocery store line.  Mary Clare obviously wanted to be held by the stranger.   The lady was flattered and held her for a while.  Mary Clare was content and happy with her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">She is my snuggle bunny and kisses and hugs so often out of the blue.\u00a0  She is certainly a mommy&#8217;s girl, but has completely won the heart of her Daddy, and has him wrapped around her little finger.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She can climb up the playset ladder all by herself! &#8220;Where is your diaper, Mary Clare?&#8221; I asked just before snapping this photo!
