"Does she ever talk to you?"

Gia is shy around people that she doesn't see all the time. When we take her to a place with new people, she just sits on my lap and looks at the ground. As a result of this, almost no one in my family and most of my friends have never heard her say anything. Almost everyone thinks that she hasn't learned how to talk yet. The truth is that she is constantly talking. So much so that we have a hard time getting her to actually be quiet.

She is always saying hilarious things to me. Then, when we are hanging out with people and they ask me if she talks, I'm always at a loss for the latest funny thing that she has said or done. She talks so much that it's hard to keep up and they all blur together. I figure if I start documenting them when they happen, I'll remember them better.

Gia is nearly 3 years old (next week actually). Today is August 05, 2010 (probably, I didn't really verify the date). Here are some funny things she's said, just today:

"Dad, when the moon comes out, I'm going to look at it and it will burn my eyes, and then I'll be dead."

"Dad, tigers go "RRRRAAAAARRRRHHHH" and they scratch your face like this!" (claws at my mouth). "Then you'll have blood on your mouth and your nose and then you'll be dead."

Me: "Are you ready (to clean the fish tank) Gia?"
Gia: "Aye Aye Captain!"

While cleaning the tank:

"Crayfish are funny, honey."

Gia: "Dad, Dad! I found a baby rabbit!"
Me: "Oh yeah, where?"
Gia: "He's outside. He's really sad because he can't find his mommy and his daddy." :(

Last night, she was whipping around the tape measure and I told her to stop. She did not and so I said "Do you really want to hurt me, do you really want to make me cry ? " She dropped the tape measure, hugged me at thigh level and said "Mom, I am not stressing you out. Heart heart heart my funny baby !
