And the "Funnies" Begin

One of the best parts of Callie talking more and more is the funny things she is starting to say.  It doesn't take much to make me laugh, but Callie cracks me up all the time.  I want to share a few recent things she has said so I don't forget.

• The other day Callie was playing with my phone, hanging out with my mom while she was getting ready.  Apparently, she was having an urgent conversation with me because she said, "Mommy, Callie needs pips (chips).  Callie needs Cheetos."  Not wants but needs. :)
• Callie was looking at a little photo album of her birth.  When she saw a picture of me, she said, "Kassey" (Kelsey), then said, "Mommy Kassey."  I hadn't even realized she knew my first name.  It just goes to show that she is absorbing everything she hears these days.
• This next story is one that will have to be stopped because it's not what sweet girls do, but it was funny the first few times she did it.  Callie was in her room the other day reading books, and she started to climb into her book basket.  My mom told her not to because she might fall and hurt herself.  She looked up at Grandma and said, "Leave."  I have no idea where she learned to say this because I promise I don't tell her to leave.  She can be such a mess sometimes!
• Callie has started calling Macie Macie Jane.  This isn't funny.  It's just cute.  She pronounces it more like Mashie Jane, sometimes just J, but I could just eat her up when she says, "Hi, Mashie Jane!" which she says often.  She is a wonderful, sweet big sister!

I know what comes out of her mouth will only get funnier the older she gets.  I can't wait!
