look out world

she's on the loose! we live in an apartment and don't have stairs, so when we were at lua's house you can imagine our surprise at nevaeh started booting up the stairs. she has now taken to crawling on top of whatever she perceives to be in her way, like, mike's guitar for instance. actually, she hopped up top of the guitar here so as to get a better angle on which to hit the strings with her tin of penaten. needless to say she was incredibly proud of her new "music," and she kept looking at mike as if to say, "i can do it too!" her newest development is crusing: aka, to all you non-moms out there, the ability to walk along furniture. i'm sorta scared that if i blink once she'll be running off to her first day of school, twice and graduation.....sure makes ya feel old! her experimentation with words continues. i'm pretty sure her first (or at least fave) word is "geesh" or "gish" which i think might be a take on "kiss" which i often say to her. she also likes to say "bahaaa" which i am convinced is baha'i, and in the spirit of her auntie lua "a-bu-ba." 'Abdu'l-Bahá was the son of the founder of the Baha'i faith, and not to mention my sister lua's first word. she APPARANTLY pointed to his picture and repeated "a-bu-ba." i say apparantly because i am jealous since my first word was so miraculous no one can actually remember it. knowing me, it was probably like, poo or something...
