Stolen from Anne's...

1. Color of baby's eyes? At birth?

Rich, true blue. Like deepest ocean blue. At birth they were a dark gray-blue, also very pretty.

2. Color of hair? Lots/Little? How many (if any) haircuts?

Light golden blonde. Not white-blonde like a lot of little blondies. At birth she had a hint of red in there, but it's since evaporated. She has a LOT of hair, and pretty much always has. She's had one unofficial haircut, courtesy of daddy. We just trimmed around her face a little and evened out the back.

3. Favorite toy of the week?

I guess that would be any book or her stacking cups. Or any stuffed animal. She doesn't really cling to any one toy. She cycles through all of them in any given stretch.

4. Tantrums? Yes/No and what are they like?

Yep, at least learning the art of tantrums in all its glory. She screams and throws her head back. She'll even kick her feet sometimes. Great fun.

5. Newest word?

Hmmmm... I don't know. She "talks" constantly but she still doesn't say a lot of recognizable words. It's kind of strange.

6. Favorite song/ TV show?

Favorite song is probably the Alphabet Song. She'll dance to just about anything though. No favorite TV shows. She doesn't pay much attention to TV, but she'll laugh and dance to the Wiggles. And she thinks Boohbah is pretty interesting too.

7. Favorite foods right now?

goldfish crackers, cheddar cheese slices

8. Shoe size? Clothing size?

She's a 4 ish in baby shoes (up to 5 in Stride Rites, since they run smallish). She wears anything from a size 6-9 month in a few pieces up to size 18 month in a few pieces. The bulk of her clothing is 12 month and fits nicely with a little room to grow.

9. Any other new and exciting moments in the life of your toddler?

Like Anne said, I'm fascinated by watching her try to make sense of the world. She imitates speech patterns and just about everything. She is starting to play make-believe, lining up her stuffed animals "just so" and talking to them. She is starting to recognize, too, when she needs to go potty. It's the first step on our way to potty training, which I had thought would be a really long way off. Maybe not!
