Miss Show-Off

Thursday, May 13th, 2010 - Day 143

Tia is getting to the point where she wants us to be watching her every minute and not because she is afraid to be alone, but more because she wants to show off her skills to us. We've gotten spoiled to the point where we really could leave the room to fix dinner or go to the bathroom and she was completely fine. Now, she seems to grunt and do these subtle screams to get our attention. We'll come to her aid to make sure she is okay and then she'll smile and carry on with her toy grabbing or rolling over. I personally think she is just showing off for us, which is adorable. Although, Chris and I were always athletes and quite competitive our whole lives. I wonder if she has a bit of our need to do well. She has been working on rolling back over from belly to back. She gets it once or twice a day, but she just doesn't do it confidently yet...she's almost there. But when she can't figure it out again, she gets so mad and some times to the point where she cries out of frustration. It is my hope that one day this will mean she'll be a star athlete or at least give it her best at sports to follow in the footsteps of her mommy and daddy...many years to find out!
