23 Months Old!

Ok, so what's new...JUDAH WILL BE 2 IN ONE MONTH!!!! AAHHH!!! How did it all go by so fast. We feel like we have been present and loving every moment and we feel like time has slipped away. Stay tuned for the last month of year #2.

Judah has become interested in politics and (with coaching) told me tonight that "Rock O-Mama" will win the next presidential election. Later, on the phone with Nana, she changed it from "Rock O-Mama" to "O'Nana!" She was so proud of herself!

Earlier this week, Mama was using an animal cookie to attack Judah with a tiger noise. Judah said, "hmmm...animal...um...el-phant!" After I made an elephant noise, she said "um...dog!" and the game continued through the whole realm of wild and domesticated animals. She even included the reptile kingdom with "um...lis-sard!" and "um...sss-nake!" Judah is SO SMART!

I actually heard myself say that she is a "little big for her britches" this week...God forgive me! She is nothing if not perfect. What a beautiful, smart, sweet girl. We could ask for nothing more.

So, Judah loves having pictures taken (and it is a good thing or she might feel abused!). This week, she said to Daddy "Dadney! Picture!" and then smiled. This was the moment...

nice. Mama is just glad that her nose now prefers larger objects.




We spent some time with Abby this week. These two girls love each other!

It looks like it is working!






With the hand-hold secure, Judah turned to Mama to say "Picture!"




Best friends!





Happiness, pure and simple.

Abby just couldn't rock without Judah





Cool!





Cool Dude! This is Judah's version of a thumbs-up. She is not impaired, just doesn't quite get it.

Judah loves to snuggle on weekends





We had two cold, rainy days and Judah needed some warm clothes. She also enjoys eating a smoothie one finger-dip at a time.





When asked how he felt about Judah turning 2...

Mama cut her hair this afternoon...





Mama is happy with the result





But, we all know who this is really about....
