The Things Ceci Can Say and Do!

Here are some highlights from Miss Cecilia lately:

* On Sunday at the Benton County Fair, Ceci received a ribbon for having "Longest Eyelashes" at the Baby Celebration.

* She can say "please" when she wants something, both verbally and via sign language. Check out the video at the end of this entry.

* She can point out a band on TV, say "band" and march around the room. When the band finishes, she claps and says "yay!"

* Toby is now "Boy", since she hears us call him that. Also, she will shoo him to the door when he starts grrrr-ing at her, yelling "go, go, go, go" because that's what we do too. Not that she's a mimic or anything...

* Ceci buzzes her lips, and has actually buzzed through brass mouthpieces a couple of times.

* She plays a "gum" which is a drum made to look like a lollipop. She recently played drum set at the McCrackens in Las Vegas and has done some experimenting with making sounds on concert percussion as well.

* She has listened to her Backyardigans CD so many times, that she knows what song is coming next and will shout out a key word from it.

* Ceci can name and point out the following body parts: hair, head, ear, eye, eyebrow, nose,
mouth, teeth, cheek, chin, hand, fingers, chest, belly, elbow, knee, foot, and toes.

* She knows her routine pretty well. If you don't get her dressed when she gets up, she points to the closet and says "coes" (clothes). Also, after dinner, she goes to the door and calls out "awk", meaning, "it's time to take a walk now".

Videos are in the next post below this one. They finally chose to process. Don't forget to check out the photo albums to the right. More news to come!

Videos as Promised

As promised, here are a few videos:

Quinn and Cecilia together. If you listen carefully, you will hear Quinn say "da" for "that" and Ceci repeat it with a "T" at the end for emphasis - "daT"

More silliness from Quinn and Ceci.

Cecilia shows off her mad drumset skills!

Spinning and spinning will make you dizzy.

Saying please.
