You have been in your crib with the lower matters for about 1 week and so far so good. The first time we put you in your grabbed the bars and pulled your head close, looking like a prisoners but loving every minute of it. It made me instantly think that you may be a girl that loves change...who knows :-)
You are eating well - starting people food slightly - a little pasta and rice yesterday. And Jacob will be sharing some chicken from Aunt Tracy tomorrow. But you seem to love everything so far but you like to eat quickly so we try to slow you down.
You are so close to crawling it is crazy...who knows maybe today will be your day. You slither back and get on all fours and you get around pretty good, lunging and then shimming and then lunging and then shimming. You can just about get anything you want but you aren't really yet crawling.
You are the bomb! I will miss you being little but can't wait for you to grow and change before our eyes.

A few sweet stories
We are deep into potty training (and when I say we I mean Nana). Over the course of 8 days we have only had 1 accident. You even make it through your afternoon nap dry. The biggest problem is that you hold it so long (especially #2) that I think you are giving yourself a tummy ache but you are really doing well and we are so proud of you. Now you are only in a diaper at night and so far so good!
- Today I was in the play room and you asked me to take off Cameron's shoes. Then you did this little piggy with Cam's feet. I couldn't catch all the words but I know "this little piggy went to market, this little piggy had oatmeal, this little piggy had roaf weaf and this little piggy went wee wee wee all the way..."
- I was making cookies tonight for a friend's son who was in an accident. I explained to you that I was making a treat for someone who had an accident. You asked "oh an accident, pee or poop?"
- Daddy has a sunburn today from the weekend in RI without sun screen. I was scratching it and we looked over and saw you lifting up Cam's shirt scrating it too. It was very sweet.
- At bed we were getting ready and I put a pull up on you "A pull up, it's kinda like underwear" was your response. After that I reminded you about our rule about bed that there is no wining, crying or fussing. You chimed back "no wining, no crying, no fussing, who wants to hear that". I think you may have got that one from Nana but AMEN!
Your vocab is increasing so much to be in line with normal conversation but I need to watch the things I say like "sure" "awesome" "like" which are becoming part of your everyday speech...certainly there are worse words but I should probabaly not teach you those so young!

Cock-a-who
Last week I was away for work and you were sick with a virus. To make matters more difficult Daddy hurt his back and therefore you were in Nana's capable hands all week. You had a temperature, were lathargic, you just weren't your happy self. You didn't sleep and you winced through the night according to Nana. I felt awful that I was not there to hold you and love you but I know you were in good hands. To top it off you also have a diaper rash which was or has become a yeast infection. You dealt with everyone wonderfully - - and are back in tip top shape this week.
You are definately more vocal everyday...laughing the most when you are playing with Mackenzie.
You will slither backwards but still no forward motion yet. You will roll (minimally) and go from back to tummy to sitting. You also sometimes will get onto all fours like you are just going to take off and crawl across the room but not yet.
You will pull yourself up with just one fingers worth of help and stand pretty well against the couch or a supportive toy.
You are still a great baby...requiring a bit more time and energy as you now squalk when we leave you for even a minute - but frankly I think that is a good thing for us - especially Mackenzie!
