I had to combine these two months because time just got away from me! You keep me very busy! You are constantly on the go. And always talking. You speak exclusively in sentences now. Everyone always comments on how much you talk!
This month you've decided you want to learn the sign for EVERYTHING. We'll say something...and you'll say "Mommy sign....." And I'll say (if I don't know it) "Hmm, I don't know the sign for that. Do you?" And you will make something up. And sometimes I think you are right! Or just really good at making up signs. Daddy spends a lot of time looking up signs.
I wrote down a few of your "phrases" that I NEVER want to forget. :)
basketball= backet-ski-ball
puffs= pups
ladder= climb up
sunscreen= ice scream
library= ly-baby
oatmeal= oh-meal
Here you are doing "No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" :)
This month you've developed an irrational fear of flies. If you see a fly buzzing around the house, especially if you are in your chair eating, you haaaate it. You will cover your eyes and say you are "Scared of the fly!" It's gotten a little bit better, but let's just say we keep the fly swatter handy.
You love a good trip to the park, and a trip to the ly-baby (library). You especially love the library when they have popcorn and a movie. You've made friends with certain cashiers at Walmart, and love going there to see Carol and Mindy. That just shows how often we go to Walmart. HA! Too much. Wish it was Target! Come on, Stillwater. Work with me here.
You've been taking swim lessons which you LOVE. It's the same parent and tot class you took last year and it's pretty fun. You are a little fish. Here's a video: (This is at GrandMama's neighborhood pool, not at swim lessons)
During class you always want to "Swim this way" and go away from the class. You have your own ideas on where you want to go. You love doing the Hokey Pokey and Humpty Dumpty.
We had a fun 4th of July in Perry, where we saw the Harms side of the family. You saw some fireworks, and played with Cousin Mary. You LOVE Cousin Mary. You have so much fun with her!
Summer has been good to us! Lots of swimming, play dates, visits, park days, family and friends!
One new thing you've really started doing is singing. You sing lots of songs....quite the variety! You love Taylor Swift, and demand her songs in the car by name. And you love to sing them randomly throughout the day. And you also will randomly pick up radio songs, and sing them later. It blows my mind!
You also love your "Bible Music" and request it frequently. Your favorites from your CD are "Lord's Army" and "Into my Heart". Last week we were driving to swim lessons and you started singing along to "I have decided to follow Jesus." It was the most special moment. Brought tears to my eyes, and Daddy and I loved it. Sweet, sweet girl.
I caught you today singing to your bear and putting him to sleep. So sweet! You know "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" is your night-night song!
You are a GREAT eater. Like, really good. Too good. You can PUT AWAY the food. Mommy has recently loosened the reins on the foods you can have. You've eaten pizza, a hot dog (the horror!), cookies....I mean, I can't believe myself. One day I will read this and think it was silly that I cared about that...but oh well. First child.
You love a good tickle! I hate this game, because I am so ticklish, but you love to play "Get Mommy! Get Lylah! Get Daddy!" Daddy is not so ticklish, so he gets lucky. But I usually wind up squealing!
We love you so much, Peanut! You make our lives so full and so fun. You are friendly, loving, demanding, energetic, loud, and amazing. I can't imagine my life without your sweet smile and your sweet requests for "Hug. Kiss". Thank you for being you!
Before we know it, you'll be TWO!
Love,
Mom and Dad
