little mrs. independent who has some new Words :)

last couple of  or past months i notice a change in manaia. she likes to dress herself and pick out her own clothes now. Boy if i put on the clothes i picked out we have a little miss attitude who refuse to put it on or have me and ray put her clothes on for her lol..Makes me sad she is growing up and doesn't want our help anymore for now lol..She is becoming more and more independant but were so proud of her :0). Bath time is the craziest because manaia gets very angry at me washing her down lol so we have been letting wash herself down and will rewash her again just to make sure she is extra cleeeaaan...hehehee.With her Lotions and her medicine for her eczema she like to put it on herself but that i have to do myself lol..She cleans up after herself takes her empty plate or cup and puts it in the sink.
Manaia if some of you know her has trouble with her speech or speech delay for the first 4yrs. manaia only had probably less then 5 words she cld say and you wld understand they were 'PUA' , DAdda, and eat eat. Now manaia has about almost twenty words she can say almost putting a sentence together but so proud of where she is right now. Manaia's new Words "RIAH" my niece, sleep, ice cream, french fries, Kiuga my nephew, aunty, uncle , papa, grandpa, apple,  there are more words she says and new ones too..she still has trouble putting in two words together sometimes but she trys and she is getting more and more progressive with her words. she says everyones names but not too clear. But going to speech therapy will help her more :) and talking on the phne too lol..we are very proud of her Love you manaia :)
