12 Days Till TWO!!!

The countdown continues. Of note, Judah said an 8 (or 9) word sentence a few days ago. The setting was Judah getting her finger stuck in a slotted spoon (not really stuck) and Mama was on the phone to Gran (which Judah can't say, so we are going to call her "Breen" along with Judah). Judah was telling Mama about what happened to her finger when Mama asked "What happened, Judah? Can you tell Breen what happened?" Judah replied...



"Breen, happen Judah finger stuck'n spoon get out!"



Well folks, it isn't pretty, but it is impressive to this Mama who can still clearly remember spending days wondering what Judah's sweet voice would sound like and imagining what things Judah would have to say when she discovered words.



Another example...and not for the intensely conservative or faint of heart...we decided that we believe it is important to teach Judah the real names of body parts. We know that this has some social implications, but we want to know that she knows what she has on her body and how sacred and important each part is. So, no "wee-wee" or "pee-pee" or whatever. We are hard core. For our trouble, Judah, who is working on distinguishing boys from girls, came into the bathroom where Daddy was on the potty and announced...


"girls ha' gina! Daddy ha' peanut!"



Boy, are we proud or what?!?

Guess what Judah chose when she had a choice of realistic zoo animal toys in the most expensive toy shop Mama has ever seen...

The girls play TOGETHER! Stay tuned for a special video.




Some things never change...other things do, such as the fact that we now have a Wii rather than an XBox 360..

See what I mean?

Let me know if I take the reminiscing too far...

She is 4 weeks old in this photo, by the way.

Chilling after a nap with a "yo-gurt s'nack!"





"Judah dancin!"




"Judah cookin soup...Judah eatin a soup!"




there are no words for this

"Judah eatin a Jello!"




"Judah do it self!"




"Judah ha' tattoo ah Mama?!?" Mama said "Sure baby, why not."




Silly through and through. Pretty, sweet girl!

This video shows the maturity and development of Judah and her friends. Where they once played alone in the same room, they now play together--even if it is a little awkward.
