Staciaisms (a post just for BIG sisters and Grandparents)

Stacia is talking nearly non-stop these days. We can even understand a good share of it now. She is now 2 1/2.
She cracked us up earlier in the week when we had a rapid fire family discussion going. She held up her hand, looked at us, and said, "PAUSE IT".


I love that Stacia ALWAYS has a big brother or Daddy to call on when she feels she is being overwhelmed. Here she was standing up to Jamin about something last night. She WOULD NOT back down. It was hilarious to see a little pint, pointing her finger and lecturing a brother who is fully 6 feet tall. She must have felt that she was losing ground because finally she said, "Well, I talk my daddy now". And left Jamin cold.


Stacia hears some comments over and over. We hadn't realized how much until I was cuddling her this week and telling her she was my LITTLE princess, Stacia. She reached up, patted my cheek, and said, "I VERY TALL!" (When we doubled her height at 18 months it predicted she would be 5'11" - 6 feet - she IS tall). She now tells me she is my "TALL PRINCESS STACIA". ::snort::

Stacia loves to dance. I love to watch the big boys dance with her. By the time I got the camera she was on to dancing with the younger set.....



I found her practicing her expressions and words in front of the mirror in our room this week. She said, "I told you no say, no, no, no, no, Stacia". Um......yep.....I had told her no and she put her hands on her hips and said, "I tell you no, no, no, no, Mommy." I told her "Stacia, you can't say no, no, no to Mommy". Evidently she liked the sound of my wise words enough to practice them a few more times.

Here she helps us clean up dinner.


She also insists on vacuuming but is terrified of the vacuum. Go figure. She pushes it away from her with a vengeance and squeals as it rushes towards her. I'll have to try to catch that one of these days.

Thus go the days of the baby of our crew.
