A Video of my Chica Mica.

I have a habit of always rhyming things in the dorkiest way imaginable.  For instance, if Evan ever says "see you later"  I HAVE to add "in a while crocodile."

Wait, it gets worse.

If he says cool, I automatically add an "io" which means I say "coolio."  Yeah, I know.

Then, the rhyming nerd in me takes over and I say "coolio boolio."

Now I have my poor husband saying it.  If I say, "I'm leaving work early!" he'll respond "coolio boolio!"  It's now a family thing.

So naturally, I had to start this trend with Liliana.  I always call her chica.  And this has of course developed into "chica mica."  Everyday when I first see her in the morning I say "HEY CHICA MICA!"


Liliana has already made more advances in the last two weeks than she had in the previous month!  On her 8 month birthday she started waving in response to a wave and now if you just say "hi" to her (even without the aid of my waving), she'll wave back (as evidenced in the video).

Also, as I blogged about earlier, she started crawling in the last couple weeks!  For the last week or so she could only do a couple steps and would fall before regaining momentum, but if you put food in front of my child, she will FIND A WAY to get there.  This motivation has made her crawl like a mad woman now.  She can crawl across the entire living room for 3 pieces of cereal.  Poor child, she got her Daddy's appetite.

Therefore, for you viewing pleasure, enjoy seeing my chica mica wave and crawl!
