My L is talking all day every day! She is definitely developing well. Just a couple weeks ago I recorded some of her sentences as follows:
- Baby Ian sleep.
- La-dle (her brother) take baby clothes.
- That one.
- My bed.
- See my baby.
- Do-ert drink wawa.
- I want my blanket.
 |
| "Look. See me smile." |
 |
| "Me eat pizza." |
Now she talks in 6-word sentences and can communicate whatever she desires around here. Every day I am thankful to be undistracted during this phase of her life. She changes so fast and I thank God I'm here to watch it every day. I love hearing her say "ready, set, go" and "this much" as she stretches her arms to show me how much she loves me.
Her favorite books are Cats, Corduroy and the Very Hungry Caterpillar.
He likes to go to bed with a book, her tiny baby doll from Grma Bev, her stuffed very hungry caterpillar from Grma O, and of course her blanket (which Sarah Barton from the ward crocheted).

| She is a girly girl through and through. She loves pink, jewelry, make up, shoes, bows, the works. |
L is an opinionated lady. She will let you know when she wants to be alone or held or fed. She is mild, quiet, and shy, especially around people she didn't expect to talk to her. She is very receptive to the Holy Ghost and talks about Jesus often. She will usually pray when we ask, but she is so quiet that I think Heavenly Father is the only one who hears her. I catch a word here or there, but she is so quiet when praying. More quiet than usual. Maybe that is because we are more quiet than usual when praying.

| Don't mind the nauseated little man in the back. Poor Guy. |
She loves her nursery class. She recently started asking to watch "show" and my heart sank to the floor. Oh no! The dread of being the second child. She is exposed to things so much younger than her brother.
I love her more than words can say. She brings a feminine, soft spirit to our family and I can't believe we lived so long without her. I love my little lady to the moon and back.
