Growing girls

Hanging out with cousin Tori-she is absolutely hilarious Miss Taylor-can you believe she's this old?!?? I can't believe she's turning into a beautiful young lady
The Thompson girls with their new guinea pigs-aren't they cute? And growing up?!?Watching t.v. with Daddy
At Market Street with Mommy
Not enjoying the water at all-she refused to go near it
She loves emptying out her drawers and trying to put on clothes
Kissing (and dressing up) Daddy
Lettting her mark on herself was cute at first and it became clear that it was a bad idea the next time we played with markers inside. Now I have to remind her constantly that markers only go on paper.
I'm learning, people!

New words-apple, tree, juice(jew), Kristi (Kicky), grape (grate), outside (ow-sye), please (peez), good girl (goo gur), shoes (sues), and stop (top) Yes, I know that no one else probably understands what she is saying, but I do and that is all that matters for now. ;-)

New signs-thank you, dog, please, sorry, shoes, sleep

She's so sweet. She loves giving kisses and hugs. She is really turning into a little companion for me. She actually understands most of what I am saying. She is starting (and it will probably never stop) to test me more and more. If I tell her to do something, she will wait until I start walking toward her to do it. She loves crayons and markers. She loves shaking her head "no," but responds with actions for yes. ie: Do you want to go to bed? She shakes her head "no." Do you want some grapes? She runs to the refrigerator. She's growing and changing so fast. I am so honored to be her mom.

I have been taking her to story time at the library and the first two times she wouldn't leave my lap. Today, she ran around the room and actually participated in the lesson. I guess she's figured out I am not leaving so she doesn't have to hold on to me the whole time.

Upcoming events-Payton's 3rd birthday party, MawMaw Polly and PawPaw Johnny are coming to visit, first plane ride, first glimpse of our new hometown-Atlanta, first Nascar experience
