doll, you are 21 mos now! time just flies! you are saying your abc's! and it is hilarious! you do lmnop so quick and in and out with your tongue, I don't think you realize it's l m n o p, to you it's lmnopeeee.., it's very cute. we can sing a part and then you keep going with the next part. we have a lot of dance parties in the kitchen, and you enjoy spinning, and moving your arms up and down, and dancing with hunter. you are having full on talks now. and a lot of I do it moments... I do it, I do it! you have been very gentle with babies when they are around and you like to touch their face softly. and you always want to hold them. you are very motherly, and you get down and talk baby talk and try to tickle them. I can put your hair in a pony now, and two ponytails. it's still all over the place, but it's a real pony, and you look so cute! you went on your first easter egg hunts in west seattle. the first one, you picked up just a few eggs and you won two grand prizes! I gave one to jeffrey since you won so much! then, on the weekend we went to one on alki, and you went for a juice box, and you wanted to sit there and drink it, instead of going for the eggs. then, we met up w/Gina/Chance/and your sissies at lincoln park, and you would take the eggs out of your basket and put them in other kids baskets. I was proud of you for sharing! you love to wash dishes! you pull up the chair and try to wash! and you are addicted to the paci. where'd paci go? where'd paci go? but, when you have it you cuddle with me, and I love it when you cuddle, so you can have it for a little longer. you talk on the phone more now, if you arent pushing the buttons. you like to play games on the phone, and you accidently upgraded aunties phone to a paid "talking kitty." you have a kitty on the phone that repeats everything you say, and so you love saying all your words and sayings to the kitty and have him repeat it back and you scream to it too. so, when you saw the neighbors cat you promptly went over and screamed at it hoping it would scream back. it was pretty funny! k, love you!!! mommy!

what I love

so much to love and every day I relish in something more about you to love. my heart grows everyday. I love when you smile and your whole face lights up. your eyes squint up so tight as your face lights up with joy. it's a beautiful joyful happy face. I love when you say I am happy mamma. or when you say bless you mamma, "sess you" it melts my heart I love watching your run.."i'm running mamma" you run fast, but look so clumsy like you could faceplant at any moment, and sometimes you do. I loved watching you love your daddy when he was gone for a week. you gave him love and hugs, and you just touched his face, and his ears, and rubbed his cheeks, like you were in awe that he was really right in front of you. I love when you give me kisses, and do it over and over and make the mchhhmchch sound. I love your crazy hair, and how most of the time, I don't know what to do with it...wondering if I should cut it, or let it grow, or what. but I think it fits your personality, so I let it be free and wild like my spirited little girl. I love how you go for everything and you are not timid. it scares me, but I am proud of you trying new things and experiencing the world with such excitement I love when you cuddle with me. I could go on forever and forever...

hi doll

daddy was gone at the masters this week, so we had some quality you and me time. I even let you sleep in bed with me. I love having you with me, and I cherish every moment, because you are growing so fast. I wish I could stop time and just keep you so young innocent and beautiful. you live in the moment, and I love being a part of it. we went on a ferry ride this weekend and you were loving it! you ate chowder with daddy, and you looked out the window and would scream boat boat! everything was so exciting to you. you loved going from seat to seat and having me follow you. sit here mamma, come sit here mamma. and then we went to a baby shower and you were just the right height to grab all the goodies off the table, so you would run around the house, and go run back to the table and grab jelly beans or put your hand in the cake. you were having a good time! daddy found an app on the iphone where this kitty repeats everything you say, so it is so funny watching you talk to the kitty and then the kitty says everything back in a high pitch voice. you get a kick out of it! you say look at my sock, or you try to sing the abc's, or you scream to it. it's fun to see what comes out of your mouth. you also went to your sissy's volleyball game and we had fun cheering her on. you love playing with them! we are going there tonight to celebrate their birthdays! you are big on saying happy birthday right now, so finally you will be right today! you have fallen in love with your paci. 'where did paci go?!' all day long! I was afraid you would love it, and get addicted to it, but I know you are still a baby and I want you to have what comforts you. but, I want to hear you talk too, so sometimes I take it a way and distract you. but, you always search for it "i found my paci!" this month you get to go on an easter egg hunt, and you get to go to the spring fair! I know you are excited, or I am excited, but I think you will love it!!!!
