Meme-tag from Magda

Tag! You're it! Baby Gabi has been invited by Maig to share the following things about herself:

Five things I plan to do before my first birthday
(in lieu of "...before I die"):

• 1. Learn to talk.
• 2. Grow longer hair.
• 3. Eat table food.
• 4. Make my grandparents come all the way out here at least four times just to see me!
• 5. Sing with Mama and Papa at church.

My pincer grasp
Five things I can do:

• 1. Get Mama's attention.
• 2. Pick up small objects with the pincer grasp.
• 3. Drink water from an open glass (and through a straw), with help.
• 4. Play peek-a-boo and find objects hidden under a blanket.
• 5. Sit 'n' scoot.

Standing with my friends at the zoo
Five things I cannot do:

• 1. Walk unassisted.
• 2. Use real words.
• 3. Crawl... although I'm getting there!
• 4. Pat the bunny... gently.
• 5. Understand the word "no."

I figured out that my play mat works like a puzzle.
Five things I do most often
(in lieu of "five things that attract me to the opposite sex"):

• 1. Attract strangers and be cute so as to earn compliments from anyone and everyone who sees me.
• 2. Put things in my mouth. (I can bite off bits of paper, so Mama has to watch me so I won't choke!)
• 3. Entertain myself, especially if given rubber duckies and/or able to see Mama.
• 4. Insist on the undivided attention of one or both of my parents.
• 5. Percuss. (Everything really is a drum!)

Being cute with my friend Tigger
Five things I say most often:

• 1. "Gee" -- I'm really happy!
• 2. "Hi" -- in response to your "hi"
• 3. "Mama" -- Mama, come pay attention to me!
• 4. "dadadada babababa ma-ba-da-da" -- I have a lot to say.
• 5. "Ahhhhhhh" -- just to make a sound

My Smile
Five things that make me smile
(in lieu of "five celebrity crushes"):

• 1. Seeing Mama come into my room when I wake up from a nap or seeing Papa come home from work.
• 2. Carrots, Sweet Potatoes, and Breastmilk. I also like rice cereal and peas.
• 3. Watching my beautiful three-year-old friend Kate, who makes me laugh.
• 4. Swinging like a monkey. Monkey, monkey, monkey!
• 5. Dancing to music.

Mmm! Yummy play mat!
