Some things for us to remember: this is so long so please don't feel like you have to read it.

• you love to be outside. you love the sand, the rocks, picking the flowers, and playing with the big kids.
• every day when I come in to get you out of bed whether it's the morning or after a nap, you have completely emptied your bed. Everything is on the floor.
• we finally got a picture of the 'cheese' face. you don't make it as much anymore, but you use to make it a hundred times a day.
• your hair is getting so long, we put piggies in and you look so big!
• you love books is an understatement. when I come to get you out of bed the first thing you say and do is point to the book shelf and say boo, boo. Sometimes when I can't find you and it's really quiet I just go into your room and you are in your chair reading all of your books.
• some of the words you're saying are: mama, dad, papa, maama(grandma), boo(book), byebye, bubba(I think is for brother), puppa(puppy), be-ba(belly button) and lots of animal sounds. and you show me about 10 body parts. belly button is your favorite.
• I get more and more comments about how serious you are from people everywhere. you definately don't smile at just anyone.
• you are still the worst eater I have ever encountered. your terms only.
• you're still a pretty big mama's girl. I love it.
• you love climbing on and in everything. at least once a day I find you standing in the pantry on the pepsi box.
• you love the bath(with cutler), but hate getting out and getting dressed.
• I'm holding on to the 2 naps a day, but you're not. I'm pretty sure we'll be getting rid of the morning nap soon.
• you still have to have a warm bottle of milk to go to sleep. I hold you, you drink, you give it to me when you're finished, I put you in bed, you go to sleep.
• you sleep on your belly with your knees up under your belly...like a little bug. it's so cute!
• you now have 8 teeth, and I'm pretty sure your cutting some more right now. runny nose, lots of drool, and pretty whiny...just a guess.
• dr. says not to worry about your eating ( the last 2 appts. he has warned me that he was going to do tests on you if you didn't start gaining weight. I guess your whopping 3 1/2 lb gain in 6 months did the trick.)

It's sad to watch you get bigger,

but I love all the new things you are learning.

I love you sweet baby girl.
