Lately we've realized that we have a little Parrot among us! Nicci is speaking almost full sentences now and is copying everything we say...it's actually really cute. She has really exploded in the personality department and has become quite the little comedian. Not only that, (not to be a ridiculously annoying proud mommy!) but she has outdone herself in the smarty pants department as well! :) The other day she took apart her Russian Doll and then put it back together all by herself. We took a video of her doing it and captured a little bit of her comical
side as well. She's hilarious. Last night i said, "Nicci where do you live??" (and then i told her to say 'Happy Home') For the rest of the night she walked around saying, "Say Happy Home Ninny...Say Happy Home Ninny" almost in a mocking tone! (Ninny is what she calls herself) So this morning when i went in her room to get her she said, "Happy Home Mommy!!" I laughed until i thought i would die; i couldn't believe that she had remembered. It's such an incredible feeling when i say, "Where do you live" and i hear her respond, "Happy Home Mommy!" My mom taught me that when i was her age and i've always looked forward to teaching my child that someday. I really really love being a mom- more than i can express in words; it is seriously the very best job in the entire world! Somedays it's very hard, and other days kinda draining, BUT all-in-all it is certainly the funnest, most rewarding and exciting job anyone could ever have! I LOVE IT!! We are in the process of landscaping our backyard and so while Seth & i were outside Nicci found one of my hair accessories, put it on, and then went on a search for 'The Rock That Would Change Her Life'...and here's a picture of the magic rock she found!! LOL. I'm telling you, this girl is hilarious. :)
Here's Ninny putting her Russian Doll back together all by herself.
(You might have to turn off the music to hear how hilarious this girl is)

She is so flippin sute. Howold is she, because she looks about the same age as Ethnie. They are so fun at this age. I love it.
She is so cute and funny, just like her mommy! I totally remember having a Russian doll when I was little, and taking it apart and putting it back together all the time! What a smart girl! It's amazing the things that they remember!
You inspire me and make me even more excited to be a mommy!!! ;) Nicci is so special ;)
Oh how I love my girls! You are an amazing mother my Brandi Lyn. :)
How cute!! What a smart little girl! I so wish our little girls could play together. They would be such a riot!!
Isn't it funny what you find amusing after you have kids!
I love kids. I want one. Especially if he/she is as cute as Nicci. Ok, maybe I'm analyzing this too much, but I love how she looks for the right size up to put the doll in, doesn't get it right, and then tries again. That has to be some developmental marker, right? She is very smart. :-)
love this! super cute!

She is so cute Brandi! I have to agree with you, being a mom is the absolute best job in the entire world, hard but oh so worth it! I love the happy home thing. Maybe I'll teach Sadie to say that when she starts talking!
