our pepita...my, my

this girl is something! she is changing like crazy. two weeks ago she began walking a lot of the time but this last week and 1/2 she is officially...dum dum dum...a walker. i love it, i love it, i love it. it is fun and hopefully i wont get as many bruises on my legs crawling on the floor playing with her. she loves to play "getcha" and thinks it's hilarious when we jump out and scare her. ( my kinda girl) she responds 'no' for everything that is asked her. we have to say, "say yes!" and half the time she will say it with a lil lisp. ha ha. when she drops something or she falls she says. 'uh oh.' she said "peppy's baby" yesterday while reaching for her baby doll. she loves elmo and calls him "melmo." she loves to sing. she definitely still sucks her fingers and is now beginning to stick one finger up her nose while sucking..momma does not like this new found finger freedom. please let this be a stage...and a quick one at that. also, she knows what buttons to push for me. i dont think this one is normal but she gags herself with her finger. she will stare me down in the car as she is back there gagging (and boy does she gag...tears running down her cheeks and all). at first i got mad cause, ewww. but then it gets funny and she just keeps doin it to get a reaction from me. este will watch her in the rear view mirror and he says she wont take her eyes off me. it starts to get hilarious and i definitely dont want her to see that so im hiding my face from her. finally she says, "MOMMA!" and i turn around and she stops. yes, this has happened more than once. she has 12 teeth and seems like she is starting to get some more. she had her 15 month appointment and she is one healthy kid. im so thankful. that is a recap on this ever changing lil momma that we soooo adore.
the other day, este walked in the door from work and she rounded the corner with a huge smile and said, "GAGA!" that made his year.
ill leave you with some pics of our precious.

kern river

we went to kern river with este's family for 5 days. it was such a good trip, although i almost lost my life in the kern river. however, i am here and peppy still has a mommy...so all is well :) the fun thing about most trips are the stories we will be able to talk about for years to come. the Lord has blessed us!
