New things this month: You have rolled over from your back to your front, and you have gotten quite good at it too. You hardly even fuss any more with tummy time. You've started saying "bababa" and "mamama", but it is just babble and not in reference to anything in particular yet. You are moving from what I used to call a very content baby to a really happy one-smiling, cooing, and squealing more and more-even smiling at strangers rather than giving them the "you're crazy" look. You have started to figure out just how loud you can squeal-luckily all of your really loud noises are happy ones. You rarely cry-just a few whimpers occasionally when you are getting too tired. In fact, we've just realized you have not only 1 but 2 teeth coming in now....and the only sign you gave us was lots and lots of drooling and a little congested too, but seriously no sleepless nights. We think you're pretty amazing. You've become more and more interested in the food that we are eating and like to sample anything that we'll let you. You LOVE sitting like a big girl in shopping carts and in highchairs. We've started trying a sippy cup with water and some puffs. You've gotten pretty good at the puffs but are still figuring out the sippy cup. We're trying to teach you sign language for please, more, and all done...but your sign for more seems to be banging on the high chair. We'll continue to work on those manners. :)
Things you love: You have really started liking your toys...especially your Laugh and Learn Puppy that your dad has named 'Unnamed Dog' because we don't actually have a name for him. You squeal out of control when we pull that little puppy out. You may give it the same reaction that you give me when I pick you up in the afternoon. You like dumping your basket of toys and pulling everything out. You really like playing chase, hide & go seek, and peek-a-boo with your daddy and me. You are also quite the fan of "giddy up horsey" too. You are fun....lots of fun!

We love you to the moon and back sweet girl! There are not enough words to tell you how much you mean to us and no numbers high enough to count how many smiles you have brought to our faces. We mean it when we say we feel so, so, so lucky to be called your parents. We thank God every day that He gave us you.
