Whitney loves to yell and she is quite good at it. Here Whitney and Will both yell for the camera. I don't know what to do to get her to stop because whenever we say "no" she just smiles and does it louder and longer. Oh well.
Whitney also loves to play the 'uh-oh' game. All you parents know what I am talking about. Whitney will drop something on the ground and then Will says uh-oh and retrieves it for her. In this case, she dropped a book over and over. But she also likes to do her sippy cup or anything else. I am not so nice and won't get the object for her over and over, so she mostly plays the game with Will.
Whitney loves metal. I guess it is just cold on her gums; I think she is teething again. This time she is chewing on Will's keys. They are her favorite chew toy and she likes them much better than those boring lame teething rings that we use to try to get her to like. But those were just a joke to Whitney.
Whitney also adores reading; she must take after me because I go through a lot of library books. She has become a really good page turner and doesn't rip the books anymore. Instead she points to different objects on the page and I name them. It's quite fun. Whitney is sitting next to her gold bear (decorated with a cute pink shirt, courtesy of Will's creativity)that she likes to squeeze.
Here Whitney is caught in the act of doing one of her favorite things - pulling on the red TV wire. There are three wires for the TV, but only the white and yellow one go into our television, so the red one hangs a little bit. Whitney is always trying to grab it and we are always stopping her. We tried to tape it up higher, but the tape wasn't strong enough to go against the constant pulling of a small child. So now we have a big toy placed in front of the TV so she cannot reach the wire. That is mostly working.
The last thing Whitney loves is her new blocks from her grandma Keeler in Rhode Island. Thanks for the package. Whitney loves knocking over the blocks that I have carefully stacked into a tower; it's fun. I tried to get her to stack them, but she wasn't interested in that yet. Maybe soon.
Whitney is growing up. We got out the 12-month box from storage and exchanged some of her old clothes for some new ones. They are a little big on her, but I don't think it will take long for her to fit into them.
This is her showing off her new kitty outfit. I cannot believe her birthday is coming so soon. My baby is going to be a toddler. We love her so much. Okay, bye.

I remember learning about the Uh-oh game as a babysitter and realizing I was getting used, but kids seem to think it is so amusing! Whitney is growing up so much :-)
It must feel good to make a big noise when one is teething. It seems that people at that age go through an ear splitting phase. The uh-oh game is when Grantpa says that the child has the adult well trained. :-) It is good to know that Whitney is training at least one parent.
Enjoy her each day!
Hugs!
