purple

baby girl knows her colors.  she's better with some than others and she's changed her "BLUE" response when you ask her what color something is to "GREEN!" but all in all, she's doing great.  even though she always tells me something is green when i ask her, i know she knows her colors because when she says things on her own, she's almost always right.  like "ball!  it's a ball!  it's one yellow ball!" or "daddy's white shoes."  i'm thrilled about this.  it's amazing how children soak everything in like that and have such an eagerness to learn!  this gives me hope for her future that she'll be more like christopher than myself.  i've never been a huge fan of learning.  christopher, on the other hand, does stuff (like getting an mba) just for kicks.  very expensive kicks.

anyways, i've started developing this completely irrational fear that baby girl's favorite color is going to be purple.  she likes to tell me about all the colors but we can be in a room with only one purple object and she'll run to it and exclaim over and over just how purple that thing is.  she's definitely showing favoritism to purple.  my favorite color is pink though... and i've enjoyed having everything pink for her.  but purple?  if her favorite color turned out to be purple i would be totally betrayed.  let's hope this is just a passing phase.  because pink and purple are kind of competing colors.  

so here are some pictures from yesterday.  the first few are from after my doctor's appointment when i was waiting for an hour to go by so i could have my blood drawn for the glucose test.  naturally i'm wearing a pink sweater and baby girl is dressed in purple.  a true testament to how excited she is about the color purple?  she had two older women stop to tell her how cute she was and how much they loved her outfit and shoes and SHE ACTUALLY TALKED BACK!!!  i about fell on my face when i saw baby girl point to her sweater and tell them it was purple and then point to her sandals and tell them that those were purple too!  she's not afraid of strangers holding her or anything but i'm pretty sure this is the first time that she's really independently talked to any. 

it was me who got my blood drawn, but baby girl who got to pick out a sticker.  she wanted the "green car" and picked out a sticker of "acer" from cars 2.

she's spinning and dancing.

and in case you were wondering.  she still spends every second of the day telling me "i want friends."

and that's the story of purple.
