Growing up Monkey part 204

I was going to make a video to go along with this post but, man, I am tired tonight for some reason. But, the video is coming and it will. be. awesome. Hahaha. Well. It'll be entertaining, right? Cause it's Autumn and she is, if nothing else, entertaining. For example, this should have been in the cleaning post. One night recently-ish, I came home to this:


Who knew that monkeys could do dishes? She's also learning to do some fun things like sit cross legged...


and blow bubbles (she hasn't quite learned not to touch the wand to her mouth).


But the very best thing of all is that she finally, after months of saying, "papa, papa," called me mama!! Saturday night, Autumn ran through the house yelling, "mama! shoes!" right before we left the house. :D It was a good night.
