Pat Pat Pat

I'm not sure how she learned it, or maybe it is just a born personality trait, but Moya pats. Whenever we pick her up and she is happy you did so she will pat you on the back or on your face. She pats her toys, she'll pat your arm, she'll even pet the cat if she can get close enough to them. Pat pat pat, it's so sweet.

The Laugh

This was just awesome. The video doesn't do it justice but it was so funny seeing Moya laugh like this.

What happen was we were playing a game Belle got for Christmas called Guesstures where you have a few seconds to act out a word for your partner to guess. Well it was my turn to act out and the word was "down." So I'm standing up and then flopping down and suddenly I hear this raspy chuckling laugh. Moya is just crackin up! So Gaga grabbed her camera and Belle and I started reenacting it. She just loved us flopping up and down at her!

First Christmas (2009)

Moya's first Christmas!! Yay!!!

The pictures say it all... she loved it! I love watching her with exciting things that are all new to her. She didn't know what to make of the packages to unwrap or the presents under the tree but she quickly learned it was a good thing. Belle played Santa and handed out gifts. Moya's favorites were a little piano Santa gave her and a toy phone. The piano was hilarious. You'd push a key and it would start a song and she'd get her trademark smile on and start boogying!

She also liked all the Christmas food goodies. She had cookies and fudge and of course the turkey dinner.

Shinny Bell

We have this Christmas bell that I believe Anna gave us one year. It's very nice but not exactly baby proof. But Moya LOVES it. We eventually had to stop letting her play with it because she managed to get the ball out of it but oh the smiles we'd get while she could ring it!

... we got her a baby proof bell of her own. :)

Santa 2009

Moya's first time meeting Santa. We took her to the same one we first took Belle too and she gave almost the exact same look Belle did! She was fascinated with his beard and kept patting it while looking at him as if to say "who, or what, are you!?" Still, no crying! YAY! :) And the girls looked just super cute in their outfits.

Moya and Her Spoon

She has teeth, a strong bite, and now she knows how to use them! Moya figured out what happens when she clamps down on her spoon. She will take the bite of food and then rip the spoon out of my hand and shake her head around, spoon in mouth, smiling in delight at her achievement. ... She also managed the get the bowl a few times too... mess ensued.

Kitty

Moya loves Isis! And I think the feeling is more or less mutual. It always seems like Isis is annoyed by the petting but she keeps coming back for more!

The other night Moya was crying her eyes out and Isis starting crying and coming up and kissing Moya and then yelling at me as if to say "Fix your baby!"

I think when Moya gets older Isis may end up being her kitty. :)... Koo Si on the other hand is scared to death of Moya. haha

Teeth # 9 And 10!

Moya has been drooling like mad lately but I hadn't seen any new teeth. So tonight in the bath I took a closer look and realized why I had not seen the new teeth... they were not in the order I had expected them too. I figured the ones next to the teeth she already has would be next but they weren't. Instead her little mouth decided she needed some chewing teeth so she's getting some back ones first. They look so big in her tiny mouth!

Sleeping On Daddy

Daddy is comfy. On more then one occasion I have sat Moya down next to Daddy to come back and find her like this. So amazingly sweet. :) When she was smaller we use to call Daddy her favorite chair, now I think he is her favorite pillow.

Christmas Lights

So I thought having a string of lights on the railing behind the sofa would look pretty and be nice. Moya agreed but it is more then a little bit of a distraction. See Moya LOVES the pretty lights. I'd hold her and she'd wiggle around to be over my shoulder and pull and play and stair at the lights. These photos do not do justice to how pretty the lights shining on her face is.

Gargling

My baby gargles. I was giving her a bath the other night and she was purposefully getting some water in her mouth and then laying back and gargling! I told Brad about it and he just shrugged and said, oh yeah she does that with her spit too. I'd not noticed before but after he told me that I took note and sure enough my little spit maker gargles her spit too!

What a weirdo. :)
