From the mouth of a 1-yr-old

So I finally went back and finished all of my incomplete blogs about our trip to Utah...phew! So... here are just a few of the adorable things Xiana has been saying lately.

• For one thing she has taken to periodically calling me Naya instead of or in addition to mama. It's really funny. She seems to do it most when she is trying to convince me to say yes to something I've said no to. She yells, "naya!"

• The other day she came into the living room with her toy stethoscope around her neck and said, "mommy, I a doctor."

• One night before bed I told her to hop to bed so she began hopping around the room saying, "hop, hop, hop, hop."

• I might have a potential job which I will write more about later for fear of jinxing it... but when I found out about the interview I called my mom who was at the temple and asked her to put my name on the prayer roll. After hanging up the phone Xiana said, "Drandma temple?" How she knew that the prayer roll meant temple is beyond me, but it was certainly sweet!

• She has taken to playing hide and go seek, with or without somebody to play it with and the other day I saw her hiding her eyes and counting.... all the way to 13!!

• Her bedroom here at my parent's house is in my mom's sewing room. Lately, when I put to bed she points at the sewing machine and says, "drandma's puter."
• Last night we went to dinner with Brian (also not going to write about for fear of jinxing :) and when I tried to hold his hand across the table she screamed. It kind of became a game. We would holds hands and she would yell, "no!" and take my hand away. Later when we were at the store she firmly held his hand while in my arms the whole time we were in the store. She's not jealous at all! :0
