LATELY


Lately, you have been clapping and waving a lot. You laugh all the time, and we get to see your huge four top teeth and two bottom ones as you babble and giggle throughout the day. Your favorite thing to do lately is stand up. You continue to talk to me all day long. You are the best girl and I can't imagine my days without you by my side!

This week has been different. Grandpa was sick and so was I, and daddy had a shoot out of town in the middle of the week, so our schedule was unusual. The silver lining? You got to spend a lot of quality time with both sets of your grandparents. You spent one day with grams and grandpa. I knew that you had a great time by your disposition when I picked you up. And it's just so sweet seeing you on your grams' hip. You and I spent the night last night with grandma and grandpa, too, which was fun and novel. You got to watch Reading Rainbow on the giant projector screen, and I know grandma and grandpa enjoyed spending so much time with you! I overheard grandma telling you, right before we left, that she already missed you.

Lately you've become very vocal about your wants and needs and it's so fun to watch. You say "eee-get" a lot, your dad and I noticed. We think it's your way of saying "I got it." And when you are excited or frustrated, there's no denying it as you let us know. Sometimes very loudly. Ha. You are so expressive. It's just fascinating to watch you develop and come into your own! You're the best, little girl, and we love you so!
