Sitting at the Table

This is another daddy day and another one of my observation sessions with a cup of coffee... This time she was climbing on and off one of the kids chairs we have by the kids table. Well, she had been trying that before, but it didn't work or she would pull down the chair over herself and start crying. This time, however, I looked over and she was sitting like this. For the next 30 minutes or so she was going up down up down up down.....

So, isn't she a big girl now?

My Own Chair

Lorelei has her own chair now. Lisa bought this chair about two weeks ago and Lorelei loves it! Whenever we are all sitting around the coffee table having drinks, she will grab her sippy-cup from wherever it is and come over, sit down in her own chair and drink as well :-). It is really nice.

Tobias also likes the chair, but for different reasons... He likes to jump on it and tip it over. This is not exactly the purpuse, obviously, but, as we found out, Lorelei likes that as well. As a matter of fact she will laugh and laugh at that "joke" of Tobias'. So, lots of fun, having a chair like that....

Swing...

Spring is here! We gave Lorelei this swing for het first birthday and it has been up ever since, but it has been cold, snowy and rainy outside, so we haven't had a lot of opportunity to use it. Well, now we do and Lorelei loves that thing. Everytime we put on het shoes and coat she walks to the backdoor pointing at the swing saying "dee... dee..." (dee, in Dutch spelled die, means "that one..."). As you can see she enjoys it a lot!

Lorelei's vocabulary is also building, although there are no "real" words yet. She is pointing at stuff and for some things she has a different "word". Cat, for example, sounds something like "athsj", and like I said, that one sounds like "dee" and this one sounds like "ishj". And if there is no specific word and we guess right she laughs really loud and reaches for us or for whatever it is she wants. So, she can make herself understood quite well now.... I am sure that soon enough there will be some "real" words coming out of her mouth :-).

Cutie...

I keep repeating myself, but my little girl is such a cutie... Here I am sitting on the couch, sipping my coffee and observing her on my daddy day. It does not get too much better than that! Anyway, she was playing with all sorts of stuff, getting on and off the chair and everything. And then suddenly she went for her dollhouse. It is not a small dollhouse, especially for someone her size, but she pulled it out by herself and started playing with it for quite a while and all I could think was.....: What a cutie...!
