    If you guessed that she picked out every piece of this outfit herself, you would be right. I’m also proud of the genuine smile in the last photo because these days she is very into saying “cheese” for pictures which results in a facial expression like the one up top.

    While we were in the bath and she was washing my tummy…
    Me: Do you think baby brother is getting too big to live in my tummy?
    Meredith: Baby brudder share my room?
    Me: That’s right, he will.
    Meredith: Baby brudder wear biders (diapers)?
    Me: Yes he will.
    Meredith: Baby brudder nurse mommy?
    Me: You’re right, he will.
    Meredith: Um…maybe baby brudder nurse daddy.

    After I had caught her with marker all over her arms, shirt, and the wall…
    Meredith: Mommy, wookit my tattoo!
    Me: That’s a no-no Meredith, the colors are only for the paper.
    Meredith: Keeo did dat. (Cleo is our dog.)

    When she had caught sight of a chocolate cupcake I was trying to hide…
    Meredith: Uh-oh, poo poo right dere!
    Me: Um yeah, don’t touch that poo poo.

    After a bath when I had wrapped her up in a hooded towel & she saw herself in the mirror…
    Meredith: I be cute!!

    After we read Humpty Dumpty…
    Meredith: Awww. Dat’s sad. He needs a bandaid make him all better.

    While driving…
    Me (to David): Something smells like gas, do you smell it?
    David: yeah, I hope it’s not my car.
    Meredith: I toot gas!

    At daycare dropoff where she insisted on carrying an armload of food, some of which was my snack for the day…
    Me: (hugging her) bye Meredith, I love you.
    Meredith: stay mommy!
    Me: aw, I have to go to work, you know that.
    Meredith: no, stay!
    Me: well may I have my crackers back now?
    Meredith: no! Go to work!

    So Meredith is entering the adorable stage where you can really have almost normal conversations and interactions with her. Yeah she has her frustrating moments of tantrums and throwing things and disobeying but all around she’s pretty great. I don’t want to forget the funny or cute things she says, and thus a new series is born.

    After I put a new adorable outfit on her…
    Me: Go show daddy how cute you look.
    Meredith: (strutting toward him) wookit my cute!

    Talking about our plans for the day…
    Me: So Mimi is going to pick you up from school and take you to see Pappy later!
    Meredith: But no Gigi, Gigi home hedden wit Gah (heaven with God).

    At my parents’ house…
    Me: Can Grammy change your diaper?
    Meredith: Yeah show Grandy da boo-boo on my butt!

    When the “Jessie” theme song came on and I started singing to it…
    Meredith: (holding her hand up to my face) Not you, mommy.

    In the waiting room for the doctor where a little kid & his mom (who had short hair) were right next to us…
    Meredith: (pointing at the woman) Daddy!
    Me: No, daddy’s at home.
    Meredith: (clearly pointing at the woman) A man! A man!
    Me: Oh is that a little boy with his mommy?
    Meredith: A daddy!
    Me: (intently watching TV, ignoring the situation)

    Just hanging out in her room…
    Me: What’s daddy’s name?
    Meredith: Daddy!
    Me: What’s mommy’s name?
    Meredith: Mommy!
    Me: What’s baby brother’s name?
    Meredith: Uh…Cici!
    Me:
    Meredith: Wanna go to Cici’s! (a local pizza place)

    When I was in the shower and she kept opening the curtain, and then I looked out to catch her drinking a can of soda (that she had brought in there)…
    Meredith: (looking guilty and mad, pointing at the shower) go to bath!
