She Bangs...and Other New Developments

Staley has started performing a few new 'tricks' over these past few weeks.  She is now deliberately banging two objects together to make noise.  She has also gotten pretty good at ripping a napkin into pieces, and she loves playing with crumpled pieces of paper.  Staley has also perfected her fake cough, and she has started to snort when she gets excited, which are both awfully cute.  On the not so cute side, she has also started to get upset when a preferred item (like a cell phone or a napkin) is taken away from her.  And although she now goes down for bed generally without a whimper, she has been a bit more vocal about taking some of her naps.  (As I type this, my super-tired little girl is yelling at me from across the hall because, although I know she is tired, she seems to think that a nap isn't such a great idea.)  On the plus side, at least she is learning to voice her opinions.

Banging toys is fun, fun, fun!!
