Update of the Munchkin

I know you were probably a little worried that there has not been a new blog entry in awhile. Sorry~ mommy has been sick and had to take a few days off work. I was overwhelmed when I got back to work. I am still overwhelmed, so this will likely be short and in bullet points:

• Munchkin now has 6 or maybe 7 teeth all coming in at the same time- her 2 front top teeth, her 2 back top teeth, her 2 back bottom teeth and another top one that has not been confirmed. Needless to say, the munch is cranky-pants!


• We may have to officially change Munchkin's nickname to "Mon-chi-chi"~ for those of you who were not a 10 year old girl in 1981 in El Paso, a "mon-chi-chi" is a monkey character, popular in the Hispanic community. I have decided that Kate is a mon-chi-chi because she cannot stop herself from climbing on everything in site! She climbs on the sofa, the chairs, the tables~ yesterday she climbed to the top of her high chair! Clearly she has some mon-chi-chi tendencies! And her feet look just like this too!

• Munchkin can now "sing" her A-B-Cs- although it is really just her humming the general sounds of the song. She also says "mama" over and over again~ without regard for what she is trying to say. Sometimes she sings songs using only the word "mama". For example: "mama, mama, mama, ma~ mama, mama, mama, ma" (sung to the "Twinkle-Twinkle little star" tune) I'm not complaining. Its pretty cute!
• She is not impressed with the Stupid Cowboys (which is now their official name)! The 'boys better get it together or she may have to become a College football fan!
• Overall, the Munchkin is doing well. Her biggest dilemma this week is deciding what to be for Halloween. Suggestions are appreciated!
