YOU, LATELY


It's been a while since I posted an update on little things in your world, like the new words you're saying and what you're currently digging, so here goes...
  • You love rides in your carrier (seen above), a birthday gift from grams and grandpa, and you seem to be growing inpatient with walks in your stroller. It's almost as if you're outgrowing our strolls, like you'd rather be walking yourself.
  • Your favorite words are "dog" and "dada."
  • Yesterday you said "squirrel" for the first time while we were playing on the front porch and watching a couple of them playing in the yard.
  • Your favorite books, as of late, are The Secret Garden and Where is Baby's Christmas Present. You still like The Little Mermaid and Madeline, but these first two mesmerize you.
  • You talk all the time.
  • You still love swinging on the front porch, but you love crawling around on the porch even more than swinging!
  • You have two new words that you repeat throughout the day...one sounds like "Eye-yuh." We are still trying to determine its meaning. :)
  • You have a new baby in your swim class! Now the class includes you, Sasha and a baby girl named Carter.
  • You hate being buckled into your carseat and fight it with all your might. 
  • You understand what "no" means.
  • You give me a kiss when I ask for one!
  • You crawl so fast!
  • Your favorite place to crawl to is the dog food bowl in the kitchen floor!
  • You are good with inflections...when you're babbling throughout the day, we can tell when you are asking us something or curious about something based on your sounds and inflection.
  • You have started "singing" along to music. You like Adele a lot.
  • You wave and clap all the time.
  • Your favorite food is bread.
  • New, random food you like: Mujadar (lentils and rice).
  • Your deep laugh is our favorite.
  • You got your first ear infection this week. :(
  • Your grandparents are your favorite people, it seems, outside of mama and dada.
  • You continue to be the best girl and the light of our life!
