Well little miss Teija is growing up fast. She has quite a personality. She has fun laughing and playing with her brothers.
But she can hold her own with those two maniacs, too. If they're bugging her, she's not afraid to yell at them. In fact she'll yell at anybody that's not being nice to her or cooperating with her demands. Taina and Charlie brought Tank over. He was barking in her face, but instead of getting scared, she just yelled back at him.
She's learning how to use those little cat fangs of hers, too. I was holding her and tickling her belly, which drives her nuts. She was flexing her stomach trying real hard to act like it didn't tickle. She casually leaned her head against my shoulder in the shy way that she does, then she chomped down on my shoulder. I say cat fangs because it felt exactly like a cat biting you. She doesn't take crap from anybody
She's quite mobile now, crawling around everywhere. She has this funny crawl she does where one foot is sticking out in front of her. Jess pointed out that she looks like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. The funny thing is, her cousin Elizabeth crawls exactly the same way.
Teija Crawling:
Teija and Elizabeth crawling:
She is also pulling herself up to stand against things and getting into everything she possibly can. Here's a video of little miss trouble maker. Makai left a twinky on the coffee table and Teija got a hold of it and ate the whole thing.
Twinky girl:
We almost didn't make it trick-or-treating. Makai couldn't wait to be batman, so he was wearing his old spiderman costume earlier in the day. But spiderman was having difficulties with his spidie powers and he lost his grip on some boulders, resulting in a split lip. He had to get 6 stitches in his lip. Makai was the toughest 4 year old around, though. He only fussed for a second when they gave him the shot, then he just layed there and got his stitches without complaining.
He got done just in time for trick-or-treating and he ran out of the ER yelling, "I get to go trick-or-treating now." He was batman and Chase was a ninja. He was Darth Maul at school a few days earlier, but he decided he didn't want to sit through getting his face painted again. And Teija was a little Angel
