less traveled

TIme keeps flying right on by us. It's June already and it feels like I just sat down the other the and wrote that last entry--it's been 4 months!

You tow keep us moving. Lolo, my little one, you will be turning one on Sunday. I can't believe it. You are now walking and running and talking since my last post. You took your fist steps in you r9th month, just like your brother. You are a real climber-even more so than B. You LOVE to climb inside anything, a box, a basket, a drawer. You love to make monkey sounds and eat bananas. Finally you are eating. Youwere such a slow starter with this and then you never seemed to cre for the baby food stuff, but you would gag, so I was terrified to feed you anything with substance, but then one day it was obvious you were ready and off you went. You want to try anything, but right now love love squash, avacados, anything made of bread(toast, pancakes, noodles),blueberries,, and as I mentioned bananas. I'm still trying to find new things for you to try. You are a super snuggly girl. You are always attacking daddy and I with hugs around our legs, and if I'm sitting down you just climb right in my lap and hug me tightly. You put your head on my shoulder and go MMmm and really squeeze. What a sweet girl you are. You put up with all of your brother's hugs, and pushes really well. You are a tough little girl.

Beckett, you are a talker! My oh my!! I can't believe the things you say and the stories you tell. You seem like a 4 or 5 year old most days. It's hard to remember you are only 2..not even 2.5 yet, but almost. I LOVE that you can communicate so well, because I get to know lal the things you love and are afraid of or find exciting and fun. You really are a charmer. You still are really attached to me and there are moments when I'm tired, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I know at any minute you could le that attachment to me go an dI will be so sad and miss it when its gone, so for now I will enjoy every time you ask for me, or cry out for me, and I will be ther eto hold you tight, my little bubsy. You are my little miracle in so many ways.

I'm glad you tow hav eeach other. I love to watch you dance and play togother and you are doing more and more of that. Chasing wach other around the table--it makes us very happy to see you tow happy together.

I'll be better and write more about our latest adventures--like our first camping trip!!

More soon.

So much love!
Mommy
