same old song.....

i could apologize that it has been so long but ya'll have heard it all before so what do you say we just skip to the pics, huh? :) (and for the record i AM sorry it's been so long)

 loves to brush her teeth - need to get more updated pics of that - but she loves watching herself brush her teeth. it's actually really cute!

 making her dad (and fellow vol fans) proud

 how sweet is that little smile!!!!

 dancing w/her poppi fred - LOVES that!!!

 fascinated w/poppi!

 check out the curls on this head - wonder where she gets that from?? :)

 we call this the bubble nose profile - she is intrigued by the Disney movie "Oceans" - she loves all of the animals

 helping mommy cook - she enjoys getting up on her stool to see what's happening on the counter

and she likes helping, though she's not crazy about her hands getting dirty

she's growing and changing like crazy - repeating things we say (or at least attempting). i think some of our favorites are:

octopus - "oppoopooee"

elephant - "elefefe"

ocean - "onie"

water - "agua" (bilingual already) :)

eyebrow - "eyeboowow"

tweet - "chuweeet"

alright - "aawrightt"

and to hear her say "oh boy" just makes me smile every time - she has the drawl - "oh bowee" (this is harder than i thought, trying to sound out these words to explain to you!)

she LOVES it when we sing to her - always says "mo, mo, mo, pees" when we stop (translation: more please). loves music - poor thing wouldn't have much choice, though, living in this house. ed has a dvd of john mayer and she loves it - we will put the dvd in and say "john....." to which she replies "meeyou". she likes to dance, too, usually prefers we hold her and bounce around but she's been spotted "raising the roof" herself and bouncing a bit on her own!

huge fan of berries, avacados (a girl after her mothers heart), mac and cheese ("roni"), bell peppers (red, yellow, orange and green), cheese quesadillas, whole wheat bagel pizzas...really she will try just about anything. doesn't mean she always likes it....

when she sees sports on tv - football or basketball, in particular - she immediately says "go, go, go!!!!!!" right now her nana's tarheels are playing so she's trying to show her support by cheering them on. last night i taught her to say "hoops" while arching her hand forward. :) so proud!!!

i think the girl has go-go-gadget arms and legs b/c she can reach just about anything. and she is trying to climb up everything! ed was about to walk out for work last saturday and we were talking across the living room - next thing we know she is sitting in the chair w/the biggest smile on her face, so proud of herself.

she's a smart little thing and picks up on so much. "agua" wasn't really intentional - when she first started talking it sounded like she was saying agua when she asked for water so i just went with it. she will ask for either one now but most of the time it's agua. tonight as she was getting her milk out of the fridge, though, i asked her what she had and she said "lecke" (aka leche)! such a smart little gal! she will know more spanish than me in no time at all (that won't be too hard, actually).

when she gets tired we get the BEST belly laughs - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!!!! then when she sees herself on the camera laughing she laughs even harder!

every morning she and i have scrambled eggs together for breakfast - and every morning when ed makes coffee he brings the bag in for her to smell. she loves it! she sniffs and says (very excited) "COFFEE!!!!"""

she is just so much fun. i know we say that every time but she just changes so much and she amazes us and cracks us up and keeps us on our toes!! she has such a fun little personality. we are just truly, truly blessed and continue to be amazed at the gift she is.

as always, thank you for keeping up with us!
