An entry about Macie- Not Mommy....for once!!!

It seems like it's been so long since I have done an entry about Macie.  I looked back and it really has not been that long, but I still feel bad doing so many updates about ME!! 
This is the time I should be updating on Macie since she changes so much everyday.  Phil got home from his trip and noticed a lot of changes in her (size and personality).  He said she looks taller, and she is such a clown now.  She must have an audience at all times, and is not happy until everyone around has stopped what they are doing, looked at her, and laughed.  She makes all kinds of silly noises and faces to get your attention, and then it's a "one toddler show".    She is a dancing fool now.  She has a piano that plays a bunch of tunes, but there is one in particular that she goes nuts.  She starts by doing a little jig, and then she runs across the room and does this fake, exaggerated laugh and runs into the couch (kinda like she's performing the Heimlich on herself).  It's hard to explain, but hilarious. 
She also is quite the Soccer player.  Her and Daddy really enjoy kicking the ball to eachother, and she's quite good.  I really should be getting videos of all this, but it's hard....she moves quick. 
She's not talking a whole lot, but I have a feeling we are going to be in trouble soon.  I think she's just going to wake up one day saying whole sentences and we won't be able to shut her up.  She talks in her own language right now and uses hand gestures all the time.  It's so cute.  She seems to learn a word and sticks with it for a few days and just repeats it all day.  This week is Duck- Duck a Duck a Duck a Duck a Duck.  I haven't heard a "Mama" in a very long time....annoying.  She calls me "Dada" too.  She does say "Daddy" now too- Poor Mommy!!!  I'm sure in time I will want to change my name she will be saying it so much. 
We are working on learning animals, the sounds they make and colors right now.  She's more interested in turning pages of books and eating them than learning much from them.  I have also been working on some sign language with her.  She knows "milk" and "eat" right now.  Takes a lot of patience which I don't seem to have much of these days.  That will hopefully change very soon.
So, that's all for now with Macie.  I'd like to say she's excited to meet her baby sister, but she has no clue what's going to hit her in the next few weeks.  We have been giving her baby dolls to get used to having a baby around, but she just wants to pull out their eyelashes and chew on their fingers.  She does give an occassional kiss and hug, but would rather poke and chew!!! 
Here are some random pics of her:
