The Stevens Family: What a character!!!

What a character!!!

I just had to show what a funny little personality my Ceci has. These are, of course, just a few of the funny little things she does every day. What a bundle of joy--is there anything better than kids to keep you up? I just wuv her.....

1) One night I made some pudding because for a while there I took all my stress out on food--poor stuff--anyway, I ate almost the whole bowl by myself but didn't quite finish it all..Well, Ceci finds the bowl, AKA a cute new hat and put it on and walked around like she was the cutest thing ever.. She had lovely coconut pudding all over her head!!

2) Yesterday while I was doing my hair in my bathroom, I heard this quick little thud-thud-thud-thud......pause........thud-thud-thud-thud.......of Ceci's little feet running frantically back and forth down the hall and then back into her room. I came out and looked a couple of times to see what she was up to because she was obviously up to something--but i didn't see anything in her room and didn't see any big messes anywhere else. So I didn't go too far to investigate...Well, a little later when I was putting her down for her nap, I went to push play on her stereo for her lullabies, and discovered what she had been up to!!!

If you can't tell, there are about 50 CD's stacked in there!!!!

She had opened up a cupboard in our office, found the unburned CD's and transferred them all to her CD player. I've never even taught her how to open up the cd player, and never shown her where those CD's are. I'm assuming she was snooping around, saw the CD's and thought "I know what these are!! I'll go put them where they're supposed to go! "

3) My sweet neighbor let me borrow her potty that her son has grown out of...So I'm starting to let Cecily explore the world of the potty!!! Right now, our "potty training" consists of sitting on the toilet, and her grabbing the toilet paper and 'wiping'. She hasn't actually had anything to wipe off as of yet, but she thinks she is so cool. It's just so cute to me to see her on a little potty. It makes me feel like my baby girl is not a little baby anymore!!!

4) It's so cute when we're sitting in the car, or just outside, and her fat little finger points to the sky and says "Airpay!!" This little thing spots every single plane that flies by, night or day. There have been times where I've thought, Oh she thinks something is an airplane, cuz I don't see it--but I'll look around a little more, and sure enough, way off in the distance is a tiny little airplane!! She started saying "Ah-mah!" I don't even remember teaching her about airplanes, but gosh kids take in everything!!!

5) She loves putting things in her ear. I wondered if I should even put thos on eon here, cuz You are all probably thinking "why in the heck are you letting her stick things in her ear?!?" But Most of the time I don't even see her do it until I see it there, and I always take it out. Here's one of the times that I got a picture!!!

Yep, two little rocks in one ear!!!

I added these pics cuz I think they're so cute...

Brooke said...: It's so funny the things they do. She is so cute. Rayce used to shove things up his nose all the time. One time he shoved a raisin so far up there I thought we were going to have to take him to the doctor, but with a little surgery work, I got it out. They do the funniest, cutest little things when they are tiny.; October 7, 2008 at 2:52 PM
Christie said...: Your little girl is so cute. It's so funny what they do and say! We have to get our girls together some time.; October 14, 2008 at 8:50 PM

Ceci Says.....

Our little Cecily has got the funniest personality and surprises us everyday by the things she says. I think that's one of the best and funniest things to look back on when you're older. So here are some of the cute things she says every day.

We were making pumpkin cookies, and when cecily tasted the batter she says " Mmm! Impwessive!"

2/21/10

As I was putting Ceci to bed, she kept being a little bugger and asking for drinks, and doing all kinds of things to stall going to sleep. So after I had gone in and sang her yet another song and was about to leave for the hundredth time, she reached out her hands and said, "I can't bear to lose you!" She knows how to work me, cuz I totally stayed longer!!!

Tonight has been a rough night--Max is so sick with the worst cough, and Cecily is also sick and has an ear infection. I've been up a lot of the night with Max, and Ryan has had to get up with Cecily. He was lying with her to help her fall back asleep, and then came in to switch me because she asked to see Mommy. So I go in and lay with her. I'd been in there for 5-10 minutes, and I almost thought she was asleep, but then I feel this sweet little hand softly brush my cheek and her tiny voice whispers, "I love you very much" and she has the sweetest little smile on her face. If that doesn't make it all worth it, I don't know what does!!!

A few weeks after Max was born, he was laying in his swing and, out of the blue, she came up to him and said, "Heavenly Father loves me and you!" What a good big sister!!!

My absolute favorite little thing she does right now is how she mixes up her pronouns. She hasn't quite settled on using 'his' and 'her'. Especially when referring to Max, she'll say, "Here's he binky," or "is this he seat? (she was asking about his little tub)" Or talking about her princess dolls, "this is she dress," etc. It is so funny, I love it. I'll be so sad when she grows out of this one.

While Cecily was at her grandma's house, Ryan's sister, Amberlee called their mom. She heard Cecily in the background and asked to talk to her, so Grandma asked her " do you want to talk to Amberlee?" Usually she loves to talk to anyone and everyone on the phone, and, quite often, holds extensive conversations, but this time, she thought for a minute and said, "No, we have a phone at home." No offense, Amberlee, I guess she jsut wasn't in a chatty mood, and that was the most gentle way she could think of to decline the offer.

Back in June, we were doing lots of yard work, and Ceci was playing with some water balloons. One dropped and popped, and completely to herself, she muttered "oh cwap (crap)!!" I've never heard her say it since, and it cracked us up to hear her sweet little girl voice say a vile little word. We need to watch what we say around her!!

Her favorite thing to do when we're driving is to point out all the cars that are the same as our family's. It started out with mini-vans. Every time she saw a mini-van, she said "look Denise!!" (my sister-in-law). She went on to point out every Corolla as mommy's car, every big black truck as Adam or Mike's (my brother and bro-in-law have the same truck). She finds Daddy's car with any ford fusions, and Nani/Opa's car is hit or miss. She calls all Mazdas "ovals" but as of today, it is now Steph's car becasue she just bought a Mazda 3. The most amazing on to me is she pointed to an intrepid yesterday and said "Bishop. " Which is correct, but I disn't know how she would have known that, I've never pointed it out, and we rarely see them driving or go to their house. Today she did it again to two other intrepids, so I know she didn't make a mistake. I think I have a very observant daughter!

My favorite part of this little obsession right now is one day, after pointing out "Denises" several times, she started to chant, "De-nise, de-nise". It was hilarious. Another time, we were driving her home and she hadn't wanted to get in her car seat and was throwing the tantrum of the century--absolutely hysterical, and I'm not exaggerating, she was literally mid-scream and went straight into her high-pitched, excited little voice: "Denise car!" Then went right back into screaming. Ryan and I about died laughing. What a character! She couldn't miss an opportunity to point out something she recognized!

Cecily is starting to prounounce things correctly, which is great, but a little sad. "mee-mee-mee-la" is now a perfect "ciderella", and "lellaly" is a very articulated "cecily". Most of her words are quite perfect now, so I thought I should write down some of my favorites of the very few things she still says in a little girl way:

Snake: "slink"

Flip Flips: "sthlip sthops"

Broke, brake, bread: "bloke, blake, blead"

Open it: "Opendint"

7/15/09

Yesterday we got to go to the Oquirhh mountain temple open house, and I told her about it a couple hours before we went so she would know she was going to the temple. As we were driving there, in her sweet little voice, and scrunching up her shoulders, she says "I so happy to go to the temple, I so escited!!!" For sure melted her mommy's heart!!

6/28/09

In sacrament meeting yesterday, I accompanied the youth as they sang a musical number. The second it was finished, and it was completely silent, Cecily literally yells, "Yay Mommy!!!" and starts clapping. The whole congregation chuckles, and afterwards a woman sitting at the opposite corner of the room said how funny it was!

6/27/09

We saw the fireworks show at taylorsville dayzz Saturday night. We seriously considered leaving before they started because it was gonna make for such a late night, but decided to wait it out, hoping Cec would enjoy them. Well, enjoy them she did! After seriously every single firework she would yell something, "Oh Sparkles!!" " Oh purple purple!!" Oh Big one"!!! And on and on. Then she'd go up to Ryan, or my brother or sis-in-law, "Did you hear dat?" Yep, we heard it!!!

Whenever her shoe falls off she says "Oh no, I locka shoe!" (I lost a shoe)

Blog Address Explanation

Ok, for all of you that think I'm an abusive wife, I want to explain the address of our blog. First of all, it was Ryan's idea. Second of all, he and his friends have been calling each other "fat" and "fatso" for who knows how long. It is really a term of endearment for them. Ya, I don't get it either. But if you knew half the inside jokes they have it would kind of explain a little more. Anyway, we have a few friends that call us fat and kat, for obvious reasons (....it rhymes....). Either way, I've become numb to it, but to every woman in the universe, they hear the word fat and immediately feel offended and think that I am calling my husband mean names. Just to set the record straight: I think he is a hotty!!!
