changing everyday

this girl just keeps changing everyday! here are some of her newer thangs!
* tunnels, tunnels and tunnels! she wants to be enclosed in any couch, with her baby and her milk.
* puzzles. she loves puzzles and i can't believe how good she is at them
* she has a bomb kitty meow. it sounds very real
* her please is still....pzzzzzzzz. it seems like everyday she is saying new words. it's crazy. she is even saying three words together. cuhrazy!
* she has started to say, "oh my dosh!"
* she has started to sing all the time. her ending note most of the time wll be pretty high. that's when we know she is done and we clap...and she starts again.
* she has begun to pray before we eat. we hold hands, bow our heads and she starts to pray. it's quite a prayer too...and then she says amen. talk about touching our hearts!
* she wants me to sing her a song everytime she goes night night.
* she is a love bug. she will hug most pple we ask her to hug when we are leaving some place...whether she knows them or not...and she kisses too :)
* she loves to dance.
*her belly laugh rocks!

* two days ago she pooped in her potty. hasn't happened since...although she has tried a lot.
*i sneezed today. she said, "bless you." i said, "what?" she said it again. didn't know she knew that one.
*she loves to be chased (especially if she has someone else around to run to for safety) i think i love it as much as she does.

christmas eve

this may have just been my favorite day out of the whole trip. i am such a tradition girl. can't help it, i love it. my granny got to come over and spend some time with us and we had delicious crab legs and caviar..mmmm! we then exchanged gifts with granny and peppy was sooo patient and help give out the gifts. we then took granny home and went to look at christmas lights. she LOVES christmas lights. everytime we come home, she wakes up from a nap or from bedtime, we have to go and put on all the lights. when we were in wv and we were in the car, she would say, "lights, lights" we'd see some and she'd automatically say, 'more!" sooo...we knew she'd enjoy our annual christmas eve light looking. we went to a park and it was really cool. lights after lights. spectacular. we then made our way to a specific neighborhood with beautiful houses and lots of lights. we sang christmas carols the whole way. we'd finish one song and she'd say, 'a song." we didn't really mind, it was fun. it's crazy how much a child adds to the holidays.

as you can see, we didnt get many pics of this day

christmas decorating

the day my parents left from their thanksgiving visit, i knew we had to do something so i wouldn't be so sad. i decided it would be a great day to do our christmas decorating. this was such a special day for me. peppy had such a fun time helping us and listening/dancing to christmas music.
