Our Beautiful Little Girl

I know that every parent thinks their kid is the smartest and cutest. Travis and I are completely and un-deniably guilty of this too. She has changed so much over the past few months. She is learning how to run. She gets going so fast that she crashes at least 20x a day. She says gran pa, mina mina mina mina ???, dadda, momma, nanna (bananna), ball, potty, peeze (please), dank u (thank you), teeze (teeth), I don't know (first sentence), pepper, doggie, oma, gran nie, she thinks cows say "booooooooo", baba (baby), keyths (keys), baubooo (balloon),all done, bye bye, and several more that are escaping my mind right now.

She has learned a little sign language, like how to blow a kiss bye, please, thank you, more, up, all done, and shakes her head no.

She screams with joy when Travis comes home from work at night! (it makes him feel like a million bucks) She eats her food on a plate and is "learning" how to use a spoon and fork. She loves pasta, red meat, bread, jelly, beans???, spicy food, bananas, granola bars, and of course ice cream.

She likes to ride on Travis's back, play hide and seek, and peek a boo. She enjoys trying to read books upside down and carrying her pink mini soccer ball all around the house shouting "ball, ball, ball!"

My favorite part of the day is after she wakes up from a nap she will rest her head on my shoulder for a few minutes. She is warm and cuddly. Once that time limit is up she wants nothing to do with cuddling for the rest of the day!

She pats my belly and says "baba." She hugs and kisses my belly too. She thinks poking my protruding belly button is the funniest thing outside of her dad! She continually suprises us every day but we are thoroughly enjoying this adventure with her....
