just around the corner

We did have a wonderful visit with your poppy, geri, erin, and jill. Every time someone was not in the room, you would ask where they went. You gave hugs and kisses and told everyone that you loved them. You played dress up with erin's panties and wanted everyone to come play in your room all the time. Now your aunts know how mom and dad feel all the time. It's fun though.

You've started making up your own words and think it is hilarious. There is some body part called a peweet that is located somewhere around your neck that you talk and laugh about. You also tell us that you want to go to teebos, where ever that is! You giggle whenever we bring up the subjects and it makes us laugh too.

You are becoming very social and wanting to play with other kids. You love to give hugs and hold hands. Pippa is still your best friend and you talk about her daily. You also enjoy going to the family room and the turtle park to see the other kids. The garden is another favorite place because henry is another favorite friend.

You've started using the potty again after a three month break. Since you have been asking about your baby rubber ducky since I threw it away because of mold growing in its head, we've promised that if you are a big girl and keep using the potty we'll get you a new ducky. It's been motivation enough so far, along with your star stickers that go on your potty chart.

You get up almost every morning and go into the bathroom to help dad get ready for work. You provide a commentary for every single thing that happens. Dadda has a green towel, dadda is shaving, dadda is putting in contacts, dadda is putting on belt, dadda wear red shirt, etc.

You enjoy a bowl of cereal with milk in it almost every morning, but love baby pancakes and muffins. You love wearing dresses and refuse to leave the house without a hat on your head. You've begun picking out your own outfits which sometime coordinate, but most often not. You can sing full songs now. Your favorites are Baa baa black sheep, Twinkle Twinkle, ABCs, and of course your made up songs.

You're going to be such a great big sister and your little brother is a lucky fellow. Keep laughing and we love you very much.

our trip

well we got home not too long ago from visiting you. We drove about 20 some odd hours to see you!! It was a long trip, but once we got there it didn't matter one bit. You were asleep when we arrived and me and Aunt Eyn couldn't harldy wait to see you. You were a little shy at first, but you really opened up. It changes about everytime we meet, whether you want to associate with me or not. This time you were like my best friend. We played with most if not all of your toys numerous times and we put your animals to sleep probably a hundred times and I gave you a bath, we went swimming, went to the white house and the monuments, and all along the way we were buddies. I had a wonderful time hanging out with you. I cannot believe how smart you are!!! You know what everything is and if you don't you ask,"What's that?" You even helped me be a little brave on the metro. I was scared to ride it, but you weren't one bit, and I couldn't look scared in front of you!! Such a city girl!!! The cutest thing was you putting on Eyn's underwear everyday we were there!!! They were bright and way too big!!! I enjoyed every detail of my trip to see you and as soon as we left I missed you. Well you will soon be busy checking out your new little brother, Ben. Well sweetie call me soon!!!
I love you!!
Aunt Jill
