The Monster is coming!!

Ever since she became mobile, Mikenna has loved to delve into these cupboards-remove the contents and create mayhem. She also enjoys removing the laundry (clean & folded) from the basket, and opening clothes drawers to toss everything out. She has quite the little "flick" in her wrist as she picks up each piece of clothing, one-by-one, and drops it to the floor.

Mikenna likes to stand in the bathroom and unroll the toilet paper, often, by the time I've caught her "at it" she has already unrolled the entire roll...grrr... If she's not in the bathroom, I hurry to the stairs, and if I'm lucky, she has made it safely up them to her sister's room, up on the bed where she bounces and just grins. Her sisters, when they see Mikenna coming, will exclaim, "the monster is coming! the monster is coming!" knowing that this dear baby sister will destroy whatever they are creating: drawings, playdough, puzzles, forts, etc.

We love our baby monster, especially when she shares her hugs, says "mom" "da-da" "ball" "bink" "that", or just points her little finger. She is growing, growing, growing!!
