Heather said... [Reply to comment]: Too cute! She seems way more willing to crawl across the rug than the wood floors (cant say I blame her lol).

You gotta start saying "ta" to her when you hand her things so she learns manners. She may not be capable of saying it yet but it will get in her brain that you have to ask nicely for things and say thank you.

I love the little smile she gave in the second video, she's so beautiful!; October 19, 2009 at 11:17 PM
