It’s hard to believe that a year ago we were in waiting mode for this precious girl. She’s settled into a new and improved napping routine and is busy enjoying the last of her baby days. Several of our girls were good at playing, but she takes the cake. She’ll focus on her toys for hours on end. The big girls love settting up creative environments for her to explore.
Mmmm, this one’s yummy
Beret Anna is still toothless, but she has a few words. Her first word was “Baa” and she says it every time we take her near her room. We almost always oblige her with a ride on her rocking lamb, which she loves. She says, “Muh, muh, muh, muh, muh” for me or for nursing and knows that Sarah will bring her to me when she says it. She says, “gu, gu, gu” for Go Go Go. That means she wants to swing or go for a stroller ride. Isn’t she blessed to have a 13 year old sister who loves to do both of those things with her? She calls her Daddy, “Dah!” and knows it’s time for fun when he’s home. She loves riding in our old Burley and we’re wondering if it will be worn off the frame before she outgrows it. “Ba” is her word for ball. It’s pronounced differently from the lamb “baa” and stands for the wonderful ball toys Grandma brought recently. “Nah” is another word she knows and she’s learned it from other people in the house saying “No!” – ha! She can find her head, find someone’s nose, wuzzle my nose, roll over, crawl, scooch on her bottom, pull to stand, cruise along a couch, and delight everyone in her family.
