You just keep getting cuter and cuter! We always get stopped by strangers who tell how beautiful and blue your eyes are. It’s true – you got them from Daddy. They sparkle when you’re happy.
You’re a very happy girl, and you love to play!
You like watching World Animals, and you’re quite good at growling; however you growl only when you feel like it. You often crawl up to me, get a mischievous smile on your face, and then growl ferociously. We haven’t caught it on video, but here is a teaser:
You are become quite the reader! I always get worried when you are quiet for a long time, but usually you’re just sweetly looking at your books and not in any trouble at all!
You and Daddy read a lot of books together.
You and Daddy also like playing with toys…
Uncle Lance and Aunt Dani came to visit (Lance had a medical school interview). We drove them to Maine to see a famous lighthouse. I wasn’t going to take you outside because it was so cold and windy, but you kept pointing to the window and saying, “Eh?” I gave in and you were delighted to be outside even in bad weather!
We often go out for breakfast on Saturday morning. You love to come and smile at everybody in sight. One day you spent almost an hour dancing and smiling for a couple of guys at the next table. They were laughing and laughing and kept commenting on how much personality you had for such a small baby.
You got became quite sick one week with an RSV-like illness, and instead of laughing and jabbering like usual, you lay around looking very sad. It broke our hearts.
Luckily you took the antibiotic that you had been prescribed for a secondary ear infection like a champion. In fact, you loved it!
You are usually too busy to cuddle for more than a minute or two at a time, but when you’re sick you love to be held and to have your back rubbed.
You often give us the following look when you’re sick. I interpret it as, “Why haven’t you fixed me?!?” Oh… we wish we could!
Finally you started feeling better, and you found your smile again.
Right now you are in a “Mommy’s girl” phase. You love your momma!
And… your momma loves you!
You still love bath time, and playing with your toys and bubbles.
You have recently become obsessed with boxes. You like holding them, stuffing things inside them, and especially seeing if there are any treasures inside. You thought you had hit the jackpot when you found a stash of Life cereal hidden in this box!
Mommy’s friend Laure gave you this coat, and it finally fits! You are a teeny, tiny baby!
