Signs of a toddler...

Recent signs that my baby is no longer a baby and is quickly turning into a toddler.

Tantrums..the kinds that should require a helmet.
McDonald's..not only eats full chicken nuggets and fries (the official Mcd's toddler food) without needing them broken into pieces, but figures out how to climb and slide down the baby slide all by herself and does it over and over again.
Dolls..knows how to rock, burp and love her babies.
Railings..stuck head in between rails and got it stuck, then figured out how to put head and body through without getting stuck. (this is frowned upon for obvious safety reasons, my other kids were too big to fit through these narrow openings so not sure how to handle this one)
Copycat..copies my yelling at the other kids and joins in.
Bossy..has progressed from mimic yelling, to actually yelling at other kids on her own terms, especially when being ignored.
Crib..cries for a good amount of time when put down for bed at night, then laughs when picked up, thinking she has tricked me.
Violence..has moved from 'play' hitting to hitting or jumping on siblings when upset with them.
Careers..is working on picking her future career and used a combination of skills listed above such as tantrum, hitting, yelling, etc. when taken out of the mail truck while mail carrier was delivering our mail.
Hair..brushes own hair.
Phones..thinks she owns my cell phone, she makes calls to people in my phone book and when it rings she can open it and say 'hi'.

It's been a long time since I checked your blog and I can't believe how big Naia is. She is so cute!! Looks like you've been having a fun summer. I can't believe what good swimmers your kids are! That's awesome.
