It’s been quite awhile since I’ve bragged about theBABY, so I’ve decided it’s time.

First, let me just say…she’s the sweetest. She still wakes up with morning smiles each day. She still lights up when theBOY comes into the room. She still likes it when I sing.

But now?

Now, it’s even better.

Now, she waves and says “hi” in her sweet little voice.  Sometimes it even sounds like “hi dad.” (Though, I’m pretty sure she called a golfer AND a tree “dad” on the ride home today.)

Now, she pulls herself up into a standing position just to sit down and stand back up again.

Now, she drags her toy box out, takes out all of the toys and pushes the box back into its place.

Now, she peeks through the bars of her crib while she waits for me to come get her after a nap.

Yes, now it’s even better.
