The Littlest Pianist

The Littlest Pianist

This is our little concert pianist! Yesterday at my mom's we got out the keyboard that she bought for Dallen to take piano lessons on. She has a little Fisher Price piano that Phia loves so we figured she would have a fun time with more keys. She played it on the floor and then we moved it to the coffee table but it was a tad too high and so we moved it to the fireplace and she stood at it to play while I steadied her.

She would sit and play a few notes and then smile at my mom or I as if she was thinking, "Look at what I can do!" My mom had it play songs as Phia was playing and turned it so it would play sound effects when she pressed the keys. It is one toy that is going to be a hit with all the grandkids.

Last week Ashley was over with Ruby and Emma so we had to get a few pictures of the girls.

They all love the little bugs they are playing with. Ruby is the proud owner but she is nice to share with Phia. Phia has a paticular liking for the bumblebee and butterfly.

Last week before Girls Night Out we were bored so we put Phia's hat and sunglasses on her and tried to get a picture before she could get them off. What a funny girl!

She has started making a new sound that sounds like a baby Teradactyl. It's kinda of a rrrrrrraaaaaa noise. It's her sound of choice for the time being. Yesterday my mom was trying to get her to say dadadadadad, mamamama, babababa and all she could get out of her was rrrrrrrraaaaaaaa.

She has a little cold right now and her nose is constantly running. She absolutely hates having it wiped and dislikes having it sniffled out with her booger getter. She turns and twists and fusses and by the time we are done we are not looking forward to doing it again.

Shane, I and Phia spent the night at my mom's on Tuesday since he had to work until 10 pm Tues and Wed. On Tuesday Ash and the girls came over and we made Ruby a princess tutu out of netting and elastic and I made Phia some cute little hair clips with silk flowers on top. They turned out really cute. I was all excited about making them. We were going to run to the scrapbook store before we got to my moms. We were about .25 miles from the store and we hear this throw up sound from Phias direction. Shane said he would just sit with her while I ran in if she had thrown up. The day before in the car she had thrown up a little bit so we weren't expecting much. We pulled in to the store parking lot and got out of the car and each opened a back door. Poor little Phia was covered in throw up. All down her front, the carseat, between her legs and she was wearing shorts. We had to head straight to Grandmas and clean the little thing up. We ran to the scrapbook store afterwards and my mom watched Phia. I chose ribbon and flowers in about 10 minutes so that Shane could get to work on time.

Shane is sitting feeding Delphia a bottle and he called me in to see her. She was actually holding her own bottle which she hardly ever does. It will be wonderful when she will do it all the time.

This past Sunday Shane showed me that she will stand up to our bed and support her weight. She will start to fuss and so we sit her down and she reaches right back up to stand again. She is really good at rolling over when she wants to, she just hardly ever wants to. She is a talker, talker, talker and has also started to laugh like Ernie on Sesame Street. She is also incoporating that into talking more while using her throat to make throaty sounds. Almost every day she finds something new that just amazes her. The past couple days she been amazed with drawers and how the roll in and out. She discovered them while standing up to the coffee table at my moms and the discovered that there are drawers on the scrapbook desk downstairs. She rolls it out and in and back out again.

Last Sunday Phia amd Shane were playing with one of her rubber ducks and this was the result. The first time she was giggling a ton and Shane was just a laughing. He went and got the camera and we recorded it but it wasn't quite like her first reaction.

Well, I am going to hang out with Phia and Shane. Maybe we will watch a movie or go for a walk.
