Things I love about Piper right now...

I really need to write these things down before I forget when they happened or that they happened at all.

- I love that Piper naturally wants milk after having a cookie. Last night her dad gave her half of a chocolate chip cookie. I was in the kitchen and didn't know that she had just had a cookie. She comes in whining to me acting like she is thirsty. She didn't want anything to do with water. I happened to open the fridge at the moment because I was cleaning up after dinner and she saw her sippy cup of milk in the fridge. The whining nearly reached ear-piercing volume. Fortunately, I got the sippy cup in her hands before a full-on meltdown took place.

- I love that Piper tilts her head back to howl like a dog. She learned this from watching Gypsy. She just started it the other day and Gypsy doesn't really howl much so it was funny that Piper learned to mimic that. We are thinking about catching it on video to submit to Funniest Home Videos. This isn't the only thing she has learned from the dogs. We joke that they are her older siblings.

- I love that Piper now loves to pretend to eat pictures of food she sees - yet another thing she came up with on her own because we didn't show her. She first did it with a cookbook I gave her because I doubted even the thrift shop would want it (1968 Better Home & Gardens Casserole CookBook). She's just lucky I won't try and feed her the real food from that cookbook.
