Once again we were able to start off the month visitng my parents for a long weekend and finally our little girl named my parents and is calling for them. GANMA and PEPA... Love it and so very special to hear her call for them.
So many fun new words - Tank Too for Thank you (which we worked on really hard) - Excuse me - (even knowing when to say it..lol) Her big phrase is "OH MAN" lol.. its soo funny and she has perfect timing! Singing. Our little girl LOVES to sing.. I always hear her singing away, its amazing how many songs she knows... makes me wonder if she might sing more (in front of people) as an adult. (Jesus loves me, twinkle twinkle little star, baba black sheep, rock a bye baby, God Bless America - def some of the favs) We are working on what sounds all the animals make and it is the cutest thing to hear her say their sounds.. Rooster - instead of Cock a dododle do.. it comes out AAAAAAAAA dooo!! LOVE IT!!
Naps are still our constant battle. This has been a month of at least 1 day (out of my 4 days with her during naptime) where she outright will not nap. I have had to come to terms that there are going to be days that she might just miss it, not by my lack of trying. However, if she is reading, singing, laying in her bed, she is still resting.. even if she isnt sleeping!! VERY hard to accept. But, I am working to accept that we are going to have days of no napping and then we just move forward with an early bedtime.
A fun month of just playtime at the pool, playing with her cousins, funtime with Owen, walks in the evening. July was really hot.. August has been a little more breathable - the only problem is the bugs!! Just enjoying every minute of our little girl.... So many new words, new phrases and just her little personality comeing to light.. GREAT smile! Some days its like I cant get enough of her!!
