kisses

akaiya gets a lot of kisses and she loves it. there were times when it seemed like she was trying to give us kisses back, so i decided to start trying to teach her what a kiss was. she finally started to "get it" ...a little...and would pucker her lips like she was going to give a kiss, then lose the pucker and make the little kiss sound with her tongue. it's really cute b/c sometimes she can coordinate all the movements and it's like she's giving kisses, but mostly it's two separate actions - and that's really sweet too :) well this morning she was on her mat playing and i heard the kiss sound, but she was hiding her mouth with her hand. i finally got a good look at what she was doing and realized she was kissing her hand! i don't know if she was doing it b/c i always kiss her hands, or if she was just using what was available... so now i'm going to work on getting her to blow kisses :)
