gaming and pooping

so last week, I believe it was Friday morning (I know I failed to blog about this until now, tsk tsk), Marlo went poo poo and the potty. the BIG potty! it's probably the coolest greatest moment involving defecation ever to have happened. me and her mother were really excited. it was a wonderful milestone :)

later that night, I was playing online with a good friend of my back in MS, Matt forrest. we play and chat on the headset of xbox 360. anyway I had to run to the bathroom so I set the controller and headset down. when I came back I saw marlo with the headset on, holding the controller. she was playing the game and talking to matt. when I got back on the headset, I asked matt what she said. he said that she asked "who is this?" then proceeded to say hello and speak other things that he did not understand. although I probably could have translated. it seems these days everyone, including her mother, asks me to translate some of her words. I hear them just fine, but I guess because I spend the most time with her I just picked it up :)

"What are you doing?"

Marlo woke from her nap today, walked into my office and said "what are you doing?" Of course it came out not as clear as that but she asked me again.

Also, I bought her this awesome new circus tent today at IKEA. She loves it! It's pretty neat.

Also, she is REALLY good at doing her puzzles. Amazingly good. She wakes from her naps and goes straight to them. She does all of them almost perfectly. There are around ten of them.

Also, she loves money. She sees it and calls out "money, money". It's only change at the moment. I give her quarters mostly. I don't want her to have anything smaller just in case she tries to eat it.
