3 More reasons....

...Why Vic is the coolest kid.  I've decided to continually update you on why Victoria is the coolest kid.  Each week, the reasons change, so I thought I'd update you monthly -- or as often as I can.

1.  She runs EVERYWHERE.  I mean EVERYWHERE.  If she is simply going 2 - 3 steps, she runs.  The greatest thing about it is how high her legs go and how loud her feet stomp on the ground...and how her arms stick out to the side.  (For those of you who watch Friends, it's somewhat reminiscent of Phoebe running with Rachel in the park).

2.  She can give the cats treats!!!  Yeah!  Tony is most happiest about this because it means that Grayson leaves him alone.  We have finally gotten her to not eat their treats when we hand them to her.  Though often times she throws them at Grayson instead of setting them on the ground in front of him.   Rodger even sticks around to get a treat or two from her.  It's amazing.

2.5  This item is linked to the second item in that it refers to animals and food.  Victoria can feed the ducks now!  She no longer tries to eat the stale bread.  In fact, she's got quite an arm and often times pelts a duck or two with some crust!

3. This crazy little clenched tooth grin she does with a wrinkled up nose.  Not sure what she's doing, but it's sure funny as heck and cute!  She does it all the time....she even has a funny sound effect she makes by blowing through her clenched teeth.  Funny, funny, funny.

Molars and bullying

My God she's got molars! I keep teasing Victoria about not having any teeth. She's had seven teeth for the past month and a half and we haven't seen any new ones peeking through. Low and behold, last night she was being her regular goofy self after her bath....running around, dancing, laughing....and she opened her mouth up nice and big.....and.....big ol' white molars on the top on both sides. interesting. The other interesting thing about Victoria is that she continues to be the daycare bully. The other day, instead of putting her in time out, they put her in her high chair so she couldn't tackle her friends and make them cry. My mom assures me that this is her way of showing affection and that she will become more socially astute and surely stop beating up her friends! My-oh-my have we got our hands full with this one! Oh, by the way, check out Victoria's Youtube account, there are some excellent new dancing videos up -- this kid's got talent.
