Mavity is ADDICTED to the latest Alvin and the Chipmunks movie with Jason Lee. She could seriously watch that movie all day long if I let her, which I don't! With most kids they pick a movie that they enjoy watching but they usually only enjoy watching the first 20 minutes or so. Mavity however will sit and watch the entire movie happily. She loves the music that is in it. When the songs come on she starts dancing away. She even laughs at certain parts of the movie. Mavity loves watching the movie and I love watching her watch the movie.
I'm so glad that she picked a good movie to be addicted to. My little sister picked Dumbo as her favorite movie and to be honest that movie kind of scares me. Now that she is 16 she wonders why she ever liked that movie because it now scares her too.
On Valentines weekend the daddy man wanted to take me out on a date. We took the Mavster over to my dad's house for the evening. On our way to my dad's house we had to stop at the video store and buy Alvin and the Chipmunks. I figured this would keep her happy and entertained while we were gone and she wouldn't cry the whole time like she did the last time we tried to go out. I put the movie on as soon as we got there and sure enough Mavity didn't even notice or care that we were leaving. She watched it twice while we were gone. She now LOVES going over to my dad's house. I think it's because she knows that Alvin is there if she needs him, or the fact that my dad gives her crackers and cookies.
I love that she has a movie that keeps her happy and entertained, it helps out so much when we need a break.
A few weeks ago Mavity was getting her 9th and 10th teeth, which happened to be molars. She had a fever and was in so much pain. She was crying so hard and we couldn't get her to calm down. Finally we turned on Alvin and sure enough she totally relaxed and was fine. Alvin is our miracle worker in this house.
Thanks Alvin, Simon and Theodore!

The babbles of a baby...
Mavity speaks several different languages I'm pretty sure. I know for sure that she speaks baby. I'm pretty sure she speaks Vietnamese (sp?). The reason I think this is because the other day Mavity, my friend and I went to get pedicures (Mav didn't get a pedicure as much as she broke the chair we were sitting in). While I was getting my pedicure the Vietnamese ladies started talking to each other and Mavity just joined right in like she knew exactly what they were saying. It sounded just like what they were saying too. It was pretty hilarious!
But most importantly Mavity speaks English!!! She loves to tell her kitties to "GET DOWN!" with a tiny little finger pointed at them. She also enjoyes telling pretty much anyone to "GET DOWN!" while pointing a cute little finger at them. The other day at my brother's house, Mavity was yelling at their dog to "GET DOWN!" off the couch. I apologized that my daughter was yelling at their dog but they didn't mind.
Another word that Mavity loves to use is no, but it's not just no when she says it. It is "noooooo" or "noooooo noooooo". It is pretty darn hilarious! I think my favorite is, "nooooooo mama!" It's so hard not to crack up when she talks back at the tender age of 11 months.
"Uh oh!" Mavity has been saying uh oh for quite sometime but it's only just lately that she has mastered the technique of this word. Since she is now feeding herself she also has the ability to drop food on the floor. I will tell her, "Mavity don't throw your food on the floor!" So she holds it over the edge of the high chair, slowly drops it and then says, "Uh oh!" Like oops sorry mom but that was just an accident so you can't get mad at me. I usually can't get mad at her because she is so darn cute!
I apparently talk on my phone way too much because not only does she want a phone at all times but she also mocks me while I'm on the phone. She will put her hand, comb, toy, play phone, pretty much anything, up to her ear and say "lo (hello), ya, ya, ya". I find this quite hilarious!
The other day Mavity was playing on the couch and was all of a sudden really quiet. I looked to see what she was doing and she had my cell phone. She had opened it up and was text messaging someone. Oh, what have I done to my poor child, she is already addicted to the phone. =)
One of my favorites things that she says lately is, "yes." But not only does she say yes but she also nods her head. I am in love with the head nod. I'll ask her, "did you poopy" and she will nod her head yes. And usually she is telling the truth. So she started the yes head nod a couple weeks ago, she has now added saying yes when she nods. Well now she has started shaking her head no. When I ask her, "do you have something in your mouth" she shakes her head no but it is very obvious that she does. So I ask her again and again she shakes her head no. I start walking over to her to check to see what is in her mouth and she will start running (crawl run) away from me. She is too smart and she already knows how to lie to me.
Since her birthday is coming up soon I started teaching her how old she is. I'll ask her, "Mav how old are you going to be on your birthday?" and she will hold up one finger. The other day I asked her how old she was going to be and she said, "4". First off , I don't know where she learned that word or how she knows that it works for an anwer to that question. I thought it was just a coincidence but I asked her again later how old she was going to be and again she said, "4". I had to correct her and tell her she was not in fact going to be 4 but will actually only be 1. Now she just holds up her finger.
I love the talking that she is already doing but I look really forward to all the funny things she is going to say when she gets a bit older. I look forward to the announcement of having to poop while we are in the middle of the store or the occasional cuss word that I will try so hard to not laugh at. Kids are so much fun!

11 months and counting...
Mavity is now 11 months and 14days old! I can't believe that almost an entire year has passed. It seems like just yesterday that I was sitting in this same chair, very uncomfortably, and wondering when the heck this kid was going to come out! This time last year I was hugely pregnant and trying everything I possibly could to put myself into labor. Mavity however had a completely different agenda than I. Which, now that I know her, is not surprising.
The past year has been by far the best of my life. She has brought me so much joy and love that I can't even rightly express. She is my life, my pride and joy, my little angel. I'm not sure what I ever did before I had her. She fills my days and my nights with so much. She is my little tag-along buddy. She goes with me every where pretty much. She is such a good kid. I don't know how I got so lucky to have such a wonderfully amazing child. I know everyone thinks that there is kid is wonderfully amazing but for some reason I just believe that mine is the most wonderfully amazing! =)
Life is so much sweeter with my little girl in it. She brings a smile to my face even when she is being a little booger. When she smiles at me, after I tell her "no", and then says "Noooo, ma ma" right back to me I just have to laugh. Discipline is going to be so hard for me because she is so darn cute!
I can't believe my daughter is going to be one year old in 2 weeks. It's amazing, wonderful and scary all at the same time. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful little family.
