What a fun month! Lew is talking like crazy and it's so fun to hear how she pronounces so many new words. Some of my favorite: fowers (flowers) coss (cross) Gog (dog), holp (help), caw (car), ungee (hungry), cothes (clothes) mama (llama), yamb (lamb) beeb (bib), peas (please), Q (thank you), unny (funny) and ass sauce (applesauce) :-) some of her phrases this month : "me go" me do" she tried to bite me and I said "no biting" and she looked and me and said "hurt" and I wholeheartedly agreed. "mommy and daddy" "hug you" hi bee bee" to mommy's belly, "help you" she started answering questions this month with "yes, no, yeah, K, and do" Something else that 's new this month, crying when daddy leaves for work in the mornings or when we drop her off at the church nursery-I was even working in the nursery with her one Sunday but she still cried when daddy left :-) she loves flash cards,recognizes and says about 6 capital letters, her shows, Elmo, books and baby dolls. She's not real interested or great at using a spoon or coloring (she likes to bite off the tips of the crayons) We were at the pediatrician today and she does not like to be messed with and as soon as she was back in my lap she looked at ped and politely said "bye" She says please all day long, thinking it means it's an automatic "yes" to whatever she is asking for. Physical therapy starts on April 12th for gross motor delays-doing great at cruising and walking behind push toy we call "ride"(it converts into a little ride/wagon) but not so great when holding just one of our hands-definitely some balance/coordination issues going on. Hopefully, PT will help. If not, back to the neurologist we go! Thanks for listening to mommy ramble!

5 years



















My lame attempt at capturing some of the last 5 years of wedded bliss :-) So many moments, so many ups and downs, so many memories. I wouldn't change a thing. I am so blessed to be loved by such an incredible man, a true gift from God. Happy 5 years, my love!

Precious moment


Somebody just crawled to me, laid her head against my chest and in the sweetest little voice said, "Mommy, hug." It doesn't get any better :-)
