Niiiice
Fiona has a new favorite word (besides "no"): "Nice"
Andrea began using the word as a mantra while trying to teach Fiona how to pet Buddy--that is, she ought to be "nice" and stroke him gently. Fiona picked up on the word and started uttering it every time she tried to pet Buddy (which usually lasts for about 3 seconds, until Buddy runs away or Fiona gets excited, forgets to be nice, and starts trying to grab).
After that, she started using it when she pet her stuffed animals.
And then when she started stroking a piece of furniture.
And when Aunt Kathy came over to babysit and Fiona started touching her shirt.
On the way home from the grocery store on Saturday I handed Fiona a toy bear to hold on the car ride home. Before I made my first turn I heard her say: "Nice."
And on Saturday night we woke Fiona up to give her some Tylenol (see Molars post below), and when we put her back in her crib we listened to her babble to herself in incomprehensible baby-ese for a while and, then, clear as day, she started repeating: "niiiice!"
