"I Got Mommy's Hair!"

I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned it up here or not, but Mallory is OBSESSED with hair. 

On one hand, it's kinda cute & sweet & all, but on the other hand, when you have someone constantly pulling at your hair, it does get old.  I mean, sometimes...my head will be sore from it.  She has always done it since she was an infant.  It's how she goes to sleep.  It's her comfort.

She has been saying sentences for a while now...starting with "Hey, Riley!"  That was her first 'sentence' when she was probably 9 or 10 months old.  (See - I don't know for sure, which is why I should blog).  Since then, she says a lot of things that are two or three words long, especially the infamous, "I got you".  That's her favorite & most common.

Well, last night was remarkable for two things. 

1) Daddy was changing a dirty diaper while I was doing his usual job of keeping her entertained.  Of course, she grabbed my hair. (Patrick changing the dirty diaper was the remarkable thing, btw)

2)  Then, she said her longest sentence so far.  "I got mommy's hair!"  Patrick & I looked at each other wide eyed.  Patrick said, "She said her first sentence, go write that down!"  I corrected him & told him that she had been saying sentences for at least 8 months technically, but this was the longest one she had said, ha.

It is amazing how every day with a toddler brings something new.  We also notice that my name is now 'Mommy'.  Rarely now does she say 'Mama'.  I swear she sounds like she is 3 years old when I hear 'Mommy'.  I think I will just fall out if I ever hear 'Mom'!  I know I won't have a baby anymore.
